Two years ago, we wrote about Belgium’s journey to EuroBasket Women 2017 where they won the bronze medal. It was a big moment for Mystics forward Emma Meesseman, because her national team went to the World Cup the following year and was fourth place in it. Another player on that team, Kim Mestdagh was able to use her experience with Belgium to make the Mystics’ roster this year.
The tournament has since been renamed to Women’s EuroBasket, but the aim of the tournament remains the same. A strong performance will help solidify Belgium as one of Europe’s powers.
