French national team has best record in FIBA Qualifiers

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Since FIBA introduced the current qualification system for continental competitions and the World Cup, no national team has stood out in the qualifiers like France.

Les Bleus managed to qualify for all four competitions—two EuroBaskets and two World Cups—boasting an impressive record of 30-6.

Lithuania is the second most successful country in European qualifiers with a 29-7 record, while Greece follows with 26-8. The only other national team with single-digit defeats is Spain, with 25-9.

All the mentioned teams, along with France, have made it to all the tournaments, as have Germany (24-12), Italy (24-10), Serbia (23-11), and Montenegro (20-16).

The opportunities provided by the qualification windows are also significant, with teams like Finland, Georgia, Poland, and the Czech Republic making it to three out of the four final tournaments through qualifiers.

It’s also worth noting that 12 countries have a positive record. Additionally, 18 teams have competed in both EuroBaskets. On the other hand, only eight teams out of 38 have not played in any competition.
