Australia’s Paris 2024 campaign gets underway against Nigeria, followed by a clash with Canada, and then Tokyo 2020 bronze medallists, and hosts, France.

Australia are by far the most decorated side in Group B, with reigning gold medallists USA lining up in Group C.

According to FIBA, the U.S. are currently the #1 ranked nation in the world, with the People’s Republic of China in second and Australia third – a result that should provide the latter with an added sense of confidence heading into their Group B fixtures.

With a perfectly balanced squad, a coach with an impressive Olympic resume, and a legend of the game leading the way, there is no reason why the Opals cannot achieve what they’ve failed to do on previous occasions and take home gold.
