Unlike recent years, the roster now includes eight EuroLeague players. This is a result of an agreement reached between FIBA and EuroLeague, aimed at preventing overlapping schedules.

Les Bleus are set to begin their Group E games on February 23 in Brest, where they will face off against Croatia.

Following this, they will journey to Tuzla for a clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina on February 26. Completing the team pool is Cyprus.

13-man roster:

Andrew Albicy (Gran Canaria) Isaia Cordinier (Virtus) Sylvain Francisco (Bayern) Nadir Hifi (Paris Basketball) Jaylen Hoard (Hapoel Tel Aviv) Damien Inglis (Valencia) Paul Lacombe (SIG Strasbourg) Mathias Lessort (Panathinaikos) Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (ASVEL) Vincent Poirier (Real) Zaccharie Risacher (JL Bourg) Matthew Strazel (Monaco) Guerschon Yabusele (Real)

*Melvin Ajinca (Saint-Quentin) and Neal Sako (Cholet Basket) have been extended invitations to contribute to French NT practices.

FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers will be played across three windows on February 19-27, 2024, November 18-26, 2024, and February 17-25, 2025, with two games played by each team in every window.
