The pairings and schedule for the Men’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024 Quarter-Finals are now confirmed following the successful conclusion of the Group Phase and the Quarter-Finals Draw in Lille, France.

The Men’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024 Quarter-Finals will all take place on Tuesday, August 6.

The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 champions Germany rolled to a 3-0 record in their group to reach back-to-back Olympic Quarter-Finals for the first time in history. Greece got through group play with a 1-2 record with losses to Canada and Spain in their first Olympics since 2008.

Greece lead the all-time matchup 12-8, including winning the only game in the Olympics in 2008. But Germany knocked off the Greeks in the FIBA EuroBasket 2022 Quarter-Finals.

n just their second Olympics under the current flag, the 2016 silver medalists Serbia went 2-1 in their group. Australia have reached the top eight for the fifth straight time and 12th in the last 13 Olympics. The Boomers, who went 1-2 in group play, would love to at least repeat their bronze from 2021 - their first Olympics medal.

Serbia lost to Australia 84-73 in Olympics preparations on July 16, but the teams split in two Olympics matchups in 2016 - Serbia winning 87-61 in the Semi-Finals.

The hosts and three-time silver medalists (1948, 2000, 2021) France were less than convincing in reaching the Quarter-Finals for the third straight Olympics - going 2-1 in their group. Canada went a perfect 3-0 in taking top honors in their group in their first appearance since 2000.

Canada have just a 2-6 record all-time against France, including losing in the 2000 Olympic Quarter-Finals though the Americas side won their last matchup by 30 points at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023.

Brazil picked up a Quarter-Finals berth after going 1-2 in group play and are shooting for their first top-four showing since 1968. USA breezed to a 3-0 record in group play and have confidence they can win their fifth straight Olympic gold.

USA holds a 23-10 all-time record over Brazil, including a 9-0 mark in the Olympics - most recently in 1996.
