2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin

Overview

The 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin and Halle has reached the semifinal stage. In a historic milestone for the host nation, Germany reached its first-ever World Cup semi-final by defeating the undefeated European champions, Belgium, with a score of 93-74 at the Uber Arena. The German victory was propelled by Leonie Fiebich, who scored 17 points, and Nyara Sabally, who recorded 16 points and 12 rebounds.

Germany is set to face France in a highly anticipated semifinal matchup. While France enters the game as favorites with an undefeated tournament record, German players, including captain Marie Gülich and star Leonie Fiebich, have expressed a strong desire for revenge following a previous Olympic loss to the French side. France secured its place in the final four following a 90-61 victory over China, led by Marine Johannès and Janelle Salaün. The French squad, which includes WNBA players such as Gabby Williams, is seeking its first-ever World Cup final appearance.

In the other semifinal, the United States will face Spain. The U.S. team, which has demonstrated significant offensive strength by averaging over 100 points in several contests, is pursuing its fifth consecutive World Cup championship. The winners of these matchups will advance to the championship game scheduled for September 13.
