Arena Set for Unforgettable Spectacle: Jokic and the Eagles Await Wemby and France!
Belgrade's Arena has hosted numerous spectacular matches over the years, and it appears another one is on the horizon.
Serbia and France are set to play friendly games as part of their preparations for the upcoming FIBA qualifying window in late August, with one of these highly anticipated matchups scheduled for August 20th at the Arena.
Meanwhile, the French national team has released its roster, which notably includes Victor Wembanyama. This means Belgrade will witness a thrilling clash between Nikola Jokic and the San Antonio Spurs' star. The French squad also features prominent names such as Evan Fournier, Rudy Gobert, and Sylvain Francisco.
Serbia advanced to the second round of World Cup qualifiers with a record of four wins and two losses. In August, the "Eagles" face two crucial games: against Iceland in Belgrade on August 28th, followed three days later by an away fixture against Italy in Pesaro.
