The first game was played between Bulgaria and Romania. Bulgaria quickly took control of the court and went into halftime with a 43:32 lead. But Romania did not give up. They started the second half with a three-pointer and were back in the game. But not for long. Bulgaria was eager for the win, and with a 20:8 final quarter, they got it. 75:55 was the score at the final buzzer. The most efficient player was Siyana Georgieva, with nine points, 16 rebounds, and five assists for an efficiency rating of 24.

Yoana Kirilova, Bulgaria player:
"I think we played really well today. We played as a team, moved the ball well, and kept moving so they couldn't really guard us. We had the same energy in our previous game against Hungary. I'm really grateful to be part of this team, we're the best. I hope we finish in first place because I know we can do it."

With a 69:63 victory, Slovakia secured its third win and advanced to the semi-finals undefeated.

Slovenia opened the game strong, hitting two consecutive three-pointers that put the Slovenian fans on their feet. That gave the Slovenian girls even more confidence, and half a minute before the end of the first quarter, they completely shut down the opposition and went on a 14:0 run to take a 26:10 lead. By halftime, they were up by 22 points, with the score at 35:13. Just like the second quarter, the third quarter also opened with a Slovenian three-pointer. Their domination on the court continued, and the final period began with Slovenia leading 54:27. Their domination did not end, and their first win was deserved, with a 67:38 final score. The most efficient player was Meta Besedić, with six points, six rebounds, and one assist for an efficiency rating of 12.

Erin Štumf and Ajda Marzidovšek, Slovenia players:
"We played very well as a team. We brought a lot of energy and supported each other throughout the game."
