Bosnian women's basketball team beat Croatia 80-69 on Monday in Strasbourg to qualify for the EuroBasket quarter-finals - the national team's best result ever in international competitions.

After qualifying for the continent’s best eight teams, the Bosnians will face the largely favoured France on Wednesday. In the European women’s basketball championship – played every two years – France ended their run as runners-up the last four times.

Bosnian women’s basketball team best result so far was winning 10th place in the 1999 EuroBasket.
