As the EuroBasket Women 2025 tournament approaches, Sweden's women's basketball team is sharpening its strategies to tackle formidable opponents. Starting from Thursday, June 19, 2025, in Hamburg, Sweden faces off against a challenging group that includes Germany, Great Britain, and Spain, often termed the "group of death" given the competitive nature of these teams.
Coach Robin Sandberg has indicated that Sweden's strengths lie in their impressive shooting abilities and notably their height, with an average player height of over 184 cm and four players exceeding 190 cm. He emphasized that these advantages could be crucial for outsmarting their rivals. The absence of key German players Nyara and Satou Sabally, who play in the WNBA, is also seen as a significant boost for the Swedish side, diminishing Germany’s height advantage as the host nation.
