Co-hosts France and Serbia will meet in the final of the International Basketball Federation Women s EuroBasket tournament.
France had been playing their matches in Strasbourg until this point, but today faced Belarus in Valencia, Spain, running out 73-61 winners.
The victory sees France reach their fifth consecutive FIBA Women s EuroBasket final, although they will be hoping to go one better than the previous edition in 2019, when they lost 86-66 to Spain in the final.
France won all four quarters during a convincing display, which included outscoring their opponents by six goals in quarter two.
The other semi-final was a much tighter affair, with Serbia overcoming Belgium 74-73.
