  • Match to be played at the Shaanxi Provincial Gymnasium, Xi'an (People's Republic of China) .  
  • Las Magnificas 12 push for a consecutive Olympic Games participation after semi-finals exit at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup 2023. 
  • France look to establish chemistry ahead of domestic Olympics. 

Puerto Rico and France open FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments in Xi'an 

Puerto Rico travel to China as outsider to look for their 2nd consecutive Olympic Tournament qualification. They will have a tough path to Paris 2024, with already-qualified France, powerhouse China and New Zealand between them and the Olympic Games. France's motivation will be the big question mark as Las Magnificas 12 open the Xi'an tournament. A win against Les Bleues might mean one foot at the Olympics for Puerto Rico, although the decisive game will probably be the one against New Zealand.

FIBA Women's AmeriCup 2023 all-five Arella Guirantes will be looking to lead her country to Paris, but a talented France team won't take it easy. With players like Gabby Williams and Marine Johannes in their ranks, it will be hard for everyone to stop France, no matter the stakes.
