Olympiacos Piraeus guard Naz Mitrou-Long has confirmed his inclusion in Greece's preliminary squad for the FIBA EuroBasket Qualifiers 2025.

"I have talked with the people in the federation, and I will be in attendance on the 19th over there with the guys," he told Achilleas Mavrodontis of Sportal.gr.

"Just learn the system. I know it's coach [Vassilis] Spanoulis' first go at this. Just very interested to pick his brain, to have some conversations with him, be present, and represent this country as best as I can for whatever reason," the 30-year-old added.

Mitrou-Long switched teams during this season, moving from Zalgiris Kaunas to Olympiacos after a disappointing start in Lithuania.

He obtained a Greek passport following the transfer, now holding local status in the Greek League.

In the current EuroLeague season, Mitrou-Long has posted averages of 3.5 points and 1.3 assists across 13 games.

Greece will meet the Czech Republic at home on February 23 and then travel to the Netherlands to face them on February 26.
