August 31, 2025 mainadmin Sport 0

EuroBasket 2025 action on Sunday will see Belgium and Slovenia clash in Group D, with every team having played at least once.

Slovenia, led by Luka Doncic, will fancy their chances against a Belgium team with no NBA players. With Group D featuring heavyweights like France, Israel and hosts Poland, both teams will be desperate to secure an early win.

After defeats in their opening games, Slovenia is fourth while Belgium is languishing at the bottom. France leads the group, followed by Israel and Poland.

In Belgium, the contest will air live on Voosport, RTL and Sporza, while fans in Slovenia can tune in on RTV Slovenija, Arena Sport and EON. Viewers worldwide can stream the matchup on FIBA’s official platform, Courtside 1891.
