Victor Vembanyama plans to be with the Blues this summer
« There is always time to build a French team. (…) So, yes, my goal is clear to make the French team every summer. » Faithful yes this philosophy displayed in August 2024, Victor Vembanyama still imagine spending next summer in Plav.
On the sidelines of the All-Star Game, the Spurs giant confirmed his intention to Remy Revershon (beIN Sports) to join the French team that will compete in the first qualifying periods for the 2027 World Cup, which are scheduled for July 3-6, followed by August 24-September 1.
« Of course, absolutely, that’s my goal. Um… I hope I don’t make it to the premiere, because that would mean we’re all the way to the NBA Finals. I’m hoping it’ll be a little over-the-top in terms of timing “, smiles the Spurs All-Star.
If the latter, currently second in the West, were to be invited to the final stage of the playoffs, the schedule could be very tight. Because the start of the NBA Finals is scheduled for June 3rd, and the series could potentially end on June 19th (in the case of a Game 7).

In case of qualification at the end of the first round, they will meet the teams from group H for the second stage (Slovenia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Sweden). For the record, this 2027 World Cup will be held in Qatar, from August 27 to September 12, 2027, and 32 teams will participate in the competition to succeed Germany, crowned in 2023 in the Philippines.
