Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert will lead the French national team front line in the upcoming FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifiers in August.
Also, Evan Fournier returns to the team for the first time since the Paris Olympics.
France will play at home against Slovenia (27/8) and Sweden (30/8) and also has scheduled two prep games against Serbia on the 20th and the 23rd of August.
Slovenia will compete without Luka Doncic.
Boasting a 5–1 record from the previous stage, despite missing Wemby in the previous summer FIBA window, Les Bleus transition into Group L for a fresh six-game slate.
