France – Belgium made in Paris

Published on August 28, 2025

For their first match in the competition on Thursday, Nadir Hifi’s France will face Belgium’s Ismaël Bako! A 100% Paris Basketball match. A first in the club’s history.

It’s symbolic… Nadir Hifi will forever be remembered as the first Paris Basketball player to have played in an international competition with the French national team.

For his debut, the Strasbourg native will face… one of his teammates! That’s right, at the same time, our new centre Ismaël Bako has joined the Red Devils in Poland. Two Paris Basketball players will therefore be playing against each other in a Eurobasket match. This is also a first for the club.

Club aficionados, mark the date in your diaries. This Thursday, 28 August at 5 p.m., Nadir Hifi’s France will take on Ismaël Bako’s Belgium. This will be the first match for both teams in Group B, kicking off the competition in the best possible way.

Our firebrand Nadir Hifi will try to set the court alight with his offensive play, while our Belgian giant will use his size to stop any attempts by the opposition to break through. The stage is set. Basketball fans are in for a treat.
