Right across the world, EuroLeague players were making an impact for their respective countries in the February FIBA window. With all 18 clubs represented during the FIBA Continental Qualifiers 2025, every fan of a EuroLeague team could cheer on their stars in international play.

In total, there were 96 EuroLeague players who featured across 26 different nations during the qualifiers for the EuroBasket, AfroBasket, and AmeriCup. The country with the most EuroLeague representatives was Greece, which had 12, followed by Italy and Spain with nine apiece. Germany and France also had a strong EuroLeague feel to their squads, with eight players each from Europe’s premier club basketball competition.

There were an additional three players who appeared in the pre-World Cup Qualifiers, too, taking the total figure of international players coming from the EuroLeague to 99.

When it comes to the most represented clubs, league leader Real Madrid and third-placed Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens had eight internationals apiece, with seven each coming from ALBA Berlin, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, FC Bayern Munich, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade and Virtus Segafredo Bologna.

Perhaps understandably, given where the EuroLeague takes place, 89 of the 96 players taking part in the Continental Qualifiers appeared in the EuroBasket Qualifiers. Then, there were six who featured in the AmeriCup Qualifiers, one in the AfroBasket Qualifiers, and, as noted, three in the World Cup Pre-Qualifiers.
