Driessen leads 3x3 basketball women to first European Championship win over Azerbaijan
The Dutch women's 3x3 basketball team convincingly won their first match at the European Championship against Azerbaijan, 21-12. Last weekend, the Dutch also defeated Azerbaijan for bronze at the Women's Series final in Shanghai. The team, reigning world and European champions, leads the world rankings and could qualify directly for the 2028 Olympics if they maintain this position through 2027. The squad—Noortje Driessen, Janis Boonstra, Ilse Kuijt, and Evelien Lutje Schipholt—faces Ukraine next at 20:45. Driessen scored 13 points.
