Finland emerged as the breakout team, finishing fourth after a narrow three-point loss to Greece in the bronze medal game, while Greece earned its first EuroBasket podium finish in 16 years. Georgia also impressed by defeating Paris 2024 Olympic silver medalist France in the Round of 16. Spain, undergoing a generational transition, failed to advance past the group stage.
