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

Quarter-Finals : The Women’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024 Quarter-Finals will all take place on Wednesday, August 7.

August 7

SRB v AUS- 11:00 Local Time (09:00 GMT)

Serbia has its eyes set on what could be an amazing third consecutive Semi-Finals appearance if they can overcome their opponents. Serbia won bronze as first-timers at Rio 2016.

Having lost their opening game in Lille, Australia now find themselves heading into the Quarter-Finals looking for a third consecutive victory having impressed against France last time out. Sami Whitcomb is looking like the baller most likely to fire them back onto the podium for the first time since they took bronze at London 2012.

ESP v BEL - 14:30 Local Time (12:30 GMT)

Spain has been involved in a couple of thrillers so far and will be looking to build on their impressive unbeaten 3-0 start to the tournament. The last time they stood on the podium was when they made a run to their maiden Final at Rio 2016.

Belgium comes into this stage on a high after getting the incredible 27-point win they needed in their last group game to advance. That came off the back of Emma Meesseman posting another epic performance, and she will continue being the centerpiece for the Cats.

GER v FRA - 18:00 Local Time (16:00 GMT)

Germany has enjoyed a memorable debut after wasting no time in getting a first win on the board at their very first attempt. Quickly collecting a second victory, they will continue to rely on the towering contributions of Satou Sabally as they try to continue taking historical steps.

France finished first of their group but want to bounce back from the loss against Australia and are looking to make their dreams of a medal on home soil come true. They won bronze at Tokyo 2020 and also memorably reached the Final for the first time at London 2012.

NGR v USA - 21:30 Local Time (19:30 GMT)

Nigeria will proudly make their first-ever appearance in the Quarter-Finals, and they will also be the first African team to compete at this stage in the Olympic Basketball Tournaments, for both men and women. As ever, playmaker Ezinne Kalu will be out to inspire victory from the backcourt.

USA will continue their quest to defend their throne. They are chasing a 10th Olympic title and remain unbeaten on French soil, helped by the eye-catching form of A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart.
