Team USA begins the knockout stage of the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup on Thursday when it faces Hungary in a quarterfinal matchup in Berlin. The Americans enter the game unbeaten after sweeping Group D and extending their World Cup winning streak to 33 games, a run that dates to 2006.
The United States secured its place in the quarterfinals by winning all three group-stage games, including a dominant 105-64 victory over Czechia. Jackie Young has led the team in scoring, while Caitlin Clark has provided playmaking and Breanna Stewart has anchored the frontcourt.
Hungary arrives with confidence after defeating Japan 84-63 to reach the quarterfinals. The Hungarians have won four of their five games in the tournament and are making their deepest World Cup run in decades. EuroLeague MVP Dorka Juhasz has been the centerpiece of the team’s success and presents a significant challenge in the paint.
While Team USA remains the favorite, Hungary’s size and rebounding ability could test an American squad that was pushed to the limit by Italy during group play. The winner advances to Saturday’s semifinals.
