Berlin to host Women's Basketball World Cup

Berlin is set to host the Women's Basketball World Cup, where the German national team aims to secure a medal. Under head coach Olaf Lange, the host nation faces significant roster challenges heading into the tournament.

Key player Satou Sabally will miss the event due to the lingering effects of a concussion. The team's leadership is expected to fall to Leonie Fiebich of the New York Liberty. Additionally, the availability of Nyara Sabally remains uncertain due to calf issues.

Germany's opening match is a difficult encounter against Spain at the Uber Arena. Following this, the team is scheduled to play against Japan on September 5 and Mali on September 7. Matches will be held across two venues in Berlin: the Uber Arena and the Max-Schmeling-Halle, with knockout stages moving exclusively to the Uber Arena.
