This Wednesday (15), the coach of the Brazilian men's basketball team, Aleksandar Petrovic, revealed the list of those called up for the Pre-Olympics. The Croatian selected 17 players, but only 12 will go on to the tournament that will define Brazil's participation in Paris 2024, meaning that five athletes will be cut before the competition.

Among those called up, wingers Didi stand out. Louzada, Gabriel Jaú and Gui Deodato, from Flamengo, and the club's former players, point guards Yago and Benitez, and center Felicio. The base of the group is the same as that which competed in the World Cup in September 2023, with some notable additions, such as Mãozinha, who shone for the Memphis Grizzlies, and new names Gui Deodato, Elinho Corazza and Alexey Borges. Raulzinho, recovered from injury, also returns to the squad.


Petrovic emphasized the mix of young talents and veterans in the team. “It’s a mix of young people and veterans, athletes I know and know their potential. An interesting group for the dispute. This will be my fourth tournament. But, it is very specific. We have to pay attention, especially in the first game, against Montenegro. So, we can seek a place in the semi-finals and escape Latvia at this stage”, commented the coach.


This Pre-Olympic is the last chance for Brazil to guarantee its presence in men's basketball in Paris, after the women's team and the 3×3 teams are unable to qualify. The tournament will take place from the 2nd to the 7th of July, but the preparation will include a series of friendlies against European teams organized by the CBB.

The Brazilian team will play two games in Croatia: against Poland, on the 24th of June , and against the hosts, on the 26th. They will then travel to Slovenia to face the local team on June 28th. These friendlies will be essential to adjust the team before the Pre-Olympics.
