The Israeli basketball team is gearing up for the EuroBasket 2025 tournament in Poland, facing both strong competition and significant security challenges. Authorities are collaborating closely to ensure the safety of the players, who have been advised to conceal any Israeli symbols while abroad. Political tensions have influenced preparations, with some reluctance from other teams to participate in warm-up matches. Israel will compete against Belgium, France, Iceland, Poland, and Slovenia, with Deni Avdija leading the squad.
