2022年11月14日，在法国西南部波城举行的2023年FIBA篮球世界杯预选赛法国队对阵波黑队的比赛中，法国队的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在场边观战。
维克托·文班亚马重返国际赛场。
这位22岁的马刺球星将重返法国国家队。在此之前，他度过了一个行程满满的休赛期，期间他与圣安东尼奥马刺签下了一份为期五年、价值2.52亿美元的提前续约合同，在纽约公开亮相，并准备下个月在法国举办他的“Hoop Gambit”活动。
据FIBA报道，文班亚马已入选法国男篮征战即将到来的2027年FIBA篮球世界杯预选赛窗口期的15人大名单。这份名单还包括NBA老将鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 和重返国家队的埃文·富尼耶 (Evan Fournier)。
自帮助祖国夺得2024年巴黎奥运会银牌以来，这位马刺球星还未曾代表法国队出战。在那届奥运会上，文班亚马场均贡献15.8分和9.7个篮板。
法国男篮主教练弗雷德里克·福图 (Frédéric Fauthoux) 表示，文班亚马的回归不仅仅是为球队增添一位世界顶尖球员。
“这对于我们想要实现的蓝图的未来至关重要，”据FIBA报道，福图说道，“维克托是这一代人中无可争议的领袖。他的存在需要转化为一种切实的影响力，无论是在球场上还是在场下的日常生活中，从而与其他队员建立起默契。事情就是这么简单。”
文班亚马在2019年欧洲区预选赛期间首次代表法国男篮成年国家队亮相。他在四次出场中场均得到19分，并在对阵捷克队的比赛中送出6次盖帽，追平了国家队单场盖帽纪录。
法国队目前以5胜1负的战绩位列L组榜首，进入世界杯预选赛第二轮。
他们将在巴黎迎战斯洛文尼亚队，开启8月的预选赛窗口期，随后将前往客场挑战瑞典队，进行第二场比赛。
这些预选赛将为文班亚马提供又一次与法国队磨合的机会，在备战2027年FIBA篮球世界杯的同时，也为他在马刺队的2026-27赛季NBA常规赛开局做好准备。

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama named to France’s FIBA qualifying roster
France’s Victor Wembanyama looks on during the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Qualifiers match between France and Bosnia-Herzegovina in Pau, southwestern France, on November 14, 2022.
Victor Wembanyama is headed back to international basketball.
The 22-year-old Spurs star will return to France’s national team after an eventful offseason that included signing a five-year, $252 million contract extension with San Antonio, making appearances in New York and preparing to host his Hoop Gambit events in France next month.
According to FIBA, Wembanyama has been named to France’s 15-player roster for the upcoming qualifying window for the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The roster also includes NBA veterans Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier, who is returning to play for France.
The Spurs star has not represented France since helping his home country win a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Wembanyama averaged 15.8 points and 9.7 rebounds per game during the tournament.
France head coach Frédéric Fauthoux said Wembanyama’s return is about more than adding one of the world’s top players to the roster.
“It’s extremely important for the future of the project we want to carry out,” Fauthoux said, according to FIBA. “Victor is the undisputed leader of this generation. His presence needs to become a tangible presence to create automatic plays with the others, both on the court and in their lives outside of basketball. It’s as simple as that.”
Wembanyama made his debut with France’s senior national team during the 2019 European Qualifiers. He averaged 19 points in four appearances and tied the single-game national team record with six blocks against Czechia.
France enters the second round of World Cup qualifying atop Group L with a 5-1 record.
The team will host Slovenia in Paris to open the August qualifying window before traveling to Sweden for its second game.
The qualifying games will give Wembanyama another opportunity to build chemistry with France ahead of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup while preparing for the start of the 2026-27 NBA season with the Spurs.
