Breanna Stewart led the team with 22 points and 10 rebounds, supported by Jackie Young, who contributed 15 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Team USA rallied in the third quarter, displaying resilience against a tough French squad that had previously challenged them significantly.
The victory marked the 12th time the U.S. women’s basketball team has claimed the World Cup title since its inception. Stewart was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player for her outstanding contributions throughout the competition and in the final match.
Despite a spirited fight from France, this loss marked another disappointment for star Gabby Williams, who had hoped to lead her team to victory after falling to the U.S. in the Olympic finals the previous year.
The U.S. women’s basketball team continues its legacy of excellence in international play, having won gold in every FIBA World Cup since 2010.
