The 2025 Women's European Basketball Championship, commonly called EuroBasket Women 2025, is the 40th edition of the continental tournament in women's basketball, sanctioned by the FIBA Europe. It will be held in Czechia, Germany, Italy and Greece from 18 to 29 June 2025. This will be the first FIBA Women's EuroBasket to be hosted by four countries.

The top six teams will qualify for one of the qualifying tournaments for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup joining Germany who automatically qualified as host.

Belgium are the defending champions.

## Bidding process

[edit]

* Czechia – Czechia decided to file a late bid for the event after discussions to with the Italian and German federations.[1] Their host city is Brno. Czechia hosted the tournament in 1995 and 2017.

* Germany – Germany is vying to host the EuroBasket Women for the first time ever, with Hamburg as their host city.[2] Despite Germany never hosting the EuroBasket Women, Germany have hosted the men's EuroBasket five times and will host the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup.

* Greece – In December 2021, the Greek federation announced their intent to bid for the hosting rights after a meeting with Andreas Zagklis.[3] This would be their second time hosting, having held it in 2003.

* Italy – On 14 July, the Italian Basketball Federation announced that they would bid for the hosting rights. This would be their eighth time hosting, after 1938, 1968, 1974, 1981, 1985, 1993 and 2007.[4][5]

* Romania – In March 2023, the president of the Romanian Basketball Federation, Carmen Tocală, said that they intend to apply to host Group games in a new 5,000 capacity multi-complex arena in Constanța. This would be their third time hosting, after 1966 and 2015.[6][7][8]

On 7 September 2023, FIBA announced that the Czechia (Brno), Germany (Hamburg), Greece (Piraeus) and Italy (unknown city) will host the tournament. Each country will host a group and the final round is scheduled to take place in Athens, Greece.[9] Bologna was selected as the host city for Italy on 11 December 2023, while on the same day, the final round was relocated from Athens to Piraeus.[10][11]

32 teams took part in qualification, while the four co-hosts played in a separate group for preparation reasons. The 32 teams were divided into eight groups of four, with the eight group winners plus the four best second place teams qualifying.[12] The draw took place on 19 September 2023 in Munich, Germany. Qualification began on 9 November 2023 and ended on 9 February 2025.[9]

Of the sixteen qualified teams, 12 were present in the previous edition. Portugal will make their debut at this edition, marking the first time since EuroBasket Women 2017 that a team will debut at the tournament.[13] Regarding the returnees, Switzerland qualified for the first time ever and will return after a 69 year absence, breaking the record for the longest time between edition appearances.[14] Lithuania comes back after failing to qualify since 2015,[15] while Sweden returns after missing out on 2023.[16] Both Lithuania and Sweden, alongside defending champions Belgium, will all co-host the 2027 edition, with Finland being the only co-host not to qualify.

The most notable absentee is Hungary, who placed fourth in 2023 and narrowly missed out in the 2024 Olympics,[17] Hungary's failure to qualify marks the fourth time in a row that the fourth place team from the previous tournament fails to make the next edition. Slovakia, who were present at the last two editions in 2021 and 2023 also failed to qualify. Latvia, plus 2023 co-host Israel, also failed to advance after taking part in the 2023 competition.

Montenegro, Slovenia and Türkiye all continue their perfect record of qualifying for every tournament since their debut. The first teams to qualify were Sweden and Türkiye, who both qualified in November 2024.[18]
