EuroBasket 2025 Wrap-Up: The Full Podium, Giannis' Bronze and the All-Star Five
Beyond Germany's gold: Greece grabbed bronze behind Giannis, Finland made history in fourth, Schröder was named MVP and Luka Dončić led all scorers at EuroBasket 2025.
Germany's perfect run to gold was the headline of FIBA EuroBasket 2025, but the tournament, staged across Cyprus, Finland, Poland and Latvia from 27 August to 14 September 2025, with the knockout rounds in Riga, delivered a full podium and a set of standout individual performances. Here is the complete picture.
The final standings
- 🥇 Gold, Germany
- 🥈 Silver, Turkey
- 🥉 Bronze, Greece
- 4th, Finland
Giannis and Greece end a 16-year drought
Greece won the bronze-medal game 92-89 against Finland, sealing the country's first EuroBasket medal in 16 years. Giannis Antetokounmpo was unstoppable, pouring in 30 points with 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks on 9-of-11 shooting.
Greece built the lead early, up 24-15 after the first quarter and 48-34 at half-time, and needed all of that cushion, because Finland stormed the fourth quarter 33-22 and came up just short.
Finland's historic fourth place
For Finland, defeat in the bronze game did nothing to dim a landmark tournament. Fourth place is the nation's best-ever finish, the latest step in a decade of steady climbing:
- 2015: 16th
- 2017: 11th
- 2022: 7th
- 2025: 4th
Lauri Markkanen's side reached the semi-finals for the first time before Germany ended their run.
How the semi-finals unfolded
Both finalists came through the last four convincingly:
- Germany 98-86 Finland
- Turkey 94-68 Greece
Turkey's dominant win set up their first final in 24 years, while Germany's victory over the host-nation upstarts Finland kept their perfect record intact.
The individual awards
The trophies were shared around Europe's best:
- MVP: Dennis Schröder (Germany), 20.3 points and 7.2 assists per game, capped by a 16-point, 12-assist final.
- Top scorer: Luka Dončić (Slovenia), a tournament-leading 34.7 points per game, to go with 8.6 rebounds and 7.1 assists, even though Slovenia bowed out before the medal rounds.
All-Star Five
FIBA's team of the tournament read:
- Dennis Schröder (Germany), MVP
- Franz Wagner (Germany)
- Luka Dončić (Slovenia)
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece)
- Alperen Şengün (Turkey)
Three of the five reached the podium, a fitting reflection of a EuroBasket in which the biggest names delivered when it mattered most.
