Serious things begin for the France team. Qualified first in their group, without shining for all that, the players of Jean-Aimé Toupane begin their final journey to the European title with the quarter-final against Montenegro on Thursday June 22 at 6 p.m. The Montenegrins finished second in their group behind Spain. Passed through a dam to climb into the quarters, they dismissed Italy, thanks to the duo composed of Natasha Mack (who has averaged 14.8 points and 11.3 rebounds per game since the start of the Euro ) and Milica Jovanovic (12.5 points on average).
For Les Bleues, it was not all easy in the pools, but they still managed three successes in as many games to give themselves a few extra days of rest. The interior Iliana Rupert, hit in the shoulder during the last match against Slovenia, will miss the Blue. France have beaten three times in the last four meetings.
