FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup concludes today its group stage with just two teams already confirmed qualified for quarter-finals, France and the United States, who won their two matches so far. Australia and Belgium from Group C have also won their two matches so far, but only one team from each group gets direct qualification for the quarter-finals.
