Spain defeated host Germany 83 to 53 in the opening game of the women's basketball World Cup in Berlin. Spain established a significant lead early in the match, leading by 26 points at halftime. The game took place at the Uber Arena before a sold out crowd of 12,550 people, which included German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Sport Minister Ronald Rauhe. Germany's top scorer was Leonie Fiebich with 13 points, while the team played without star player Satou Sabally due to a concussion. Germany is scheduled to play Japan next, followed by a game against Mali. While the center left source framed the result as a dominant exhibition of collective play that established Spain as a great favorite, the center right source framed the event as a disappointing and nervous false start for the home team.
