Slovenia’s strong comeback

Slovenia’s absence from the previous edition of the FIBA World Cup didn’t deter their determination. Ranked seventh in the FIBA World Ranking Men, Slovenia entered the World Cup with a mission to make a mark. Since securing their inaugural EuroBasket title in 2017, their journey has witnessed a blend of victories and challenges.

After missing the 2019 World Cup, Slovenia’s resurgence began with a resounding victory in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament, earning them a spot at the Tokyo Olympics. Although narrowly missing out on the Olympic Final, Slovenia’s prowess was evident. However, their title defense at EuroBasket 2022 took an unexpected turn when they were defeated by Poland in the Quarter-Finals. Doncic, a pivotal player for the team, took responsibility for the loss, expressing his disappointment.

While Slovenia’s victory against Venezuela is significant, the tournament’s dynamics remain uncertain. The upcoming matches, particularly the showdown with Georgia will provide further clarity on the team’s path in the tournament.
