The FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup 2025,hosted in Brno, Czechia, has confirmed its much-anticipated pairings and schedule for both the Third Place Game and the showpiece Final, following the thrilling Semi-Finals. Both highly anticipated matches are scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 20, at the Starez Arena Vodova, promising a captivating conclusion to the tournament.

The Third Place Game will see Spain face off against Canada at 17:00 CET. Both nations will be eager to rebound from their respective Semi-Final disappointments and secure a spot on the podium. Spain is vying for their fifth medal in the tournament's history, having previously earned three silver medals and a bronze in 2019. Canada, aiming to recover after missing their first-ever Final appearance, will be looking to replicate their achievement from the 2023 edition in Madrid, where they also secured the third podium step, adding to a bronze medal won in 2017.

They are on the verge of claiming their eleventh title, their fourth in a row, and an astonishing thirteenth medal overall.

Australia, meanwhile, seeks to achieve a significant upset and clinch the title for only the second time in their history, having already guaranteed themselves at least a silver medal and their eighth medal in total.
