National team head coach Patrick Unger has the focus on the long term goals of the women’s national team. With the official candidacy to co-host FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2029 announced a few days ago, the women’s team enters a 3-year period with the focus to be at its best in a potential tournament in 2029. „Our approach is long-term oriented. 2029 has been the goal since I took over the challenge as head-coach, our goals in the upcoming games align with the general objectives. Since I took over the job at the FLBB, FIBA Eurobasket 2029 has been on our radar and the main goal for everybody involved. It certainly gives the team another push now that a participation in that tournament could become reality » says Unger who underlines that the opponents in the second round will be extremely strong. „The competition in this second round is extremely strong with 3 high level opponents. we will focus on the defensive end and try to make it as hard for our opponents as possible. »
On Saturday, the game against the runner up of the World Cup, France, is coming up, clearly a special game for everyone. „It is not a game like any other game, everybody talks about it for weeks and you can feel the excitement to face France while everybody knows that this game will be extremely difficult because of the enormous level of the opponent even if some of their best players might miss this window. We all know that our key players that play in the USA are missing but I am glad to see that Dionne and Isi are getting playing time as a freshman and that all 3 of them (Ehis, Isi, Dionne) perform so strong. »
