Match Preview
Belgium enter this World Championship 2026 with confidence, recently defending the European throne with a dramatic 67-65 win over Spain in the EuroBasket 2025 final. They are tagged as massive favorites against Turkey on Friday.
Belgium Aiming for Medal
Belgium had a decent run at the previous FIBA Basketball World Championship in 2022, making it to the quarterfinals before getting eliminated by the hosts Australia in a one-sided contest 86-69.
The Belgian Cats have been one of the most consistent European sides in the last decade, claiming back-to-back titles at EuroBasket 2023 and 2025. Emma Meesseman is their superstar player and is playing at this tournament.
They had zero problems qualifying for the upcoming tournament, winning all five matches in March to finish top of Group A ahead of China, Mali, the Czech Republic, Brazil and South Sudan.
Turkey Return to Big Scene
There were so many roster transitions and generational changes for the Turkish national team in the last couple of years, and no one was surprised to see them miss the previous World Championship edition in 2022.
Turkey's best result at the WC so far was in 2014, when they hosted the entire event, making it to the Final Four and then finishing in 4th place.
The Crescent Stars barely punched their ticket to Germany after winning just two out of five qualifying matches in March. The only performance here worth mentioning was a 75-67 victory against favored Japan.
