Led by Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, France is one of the favourites for this Olympic basketball tournament in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Coach Vincent Collet’s Blues have inherited an “affordable” group with Germany, Japan and Brazil for this group stage.The tournament will be one of the toughest in history. There are almost only strong teams. We knew before the draw that the United States would be in Group C and that we could not play them in the first round. We took the Germans, world champions and now a major team.” explained Vincent Collet. For the women, Jean-Aimé Toupane’s Blues will meet Australia, Canada and Nigeria. We know that the 12 teams are strong. It won’t be easy. They are athletic teams, it will be very important beyond basketball, it’s very homogeneous. Avoiding Team USA, a relief? Yes, but it’s mainly because we have clear ideas. We have ambition. Each match will be a final.”
