Jun 25, 2025

TORONTO (June 25, 2025) – Canada Basketball announced Wednesday the 12 athletes named to the Senior Women’s National Team for the upcoming FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2025.

Featuring the top ten teams in the zone competing in the most prestigious senior women’s basketball tournament in the Americas, the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2025 is set for June 28-July 6 in Santiago, Chile. All the action will be streaming live on FIBA’s Courtside 1891. Fans can watch for free by creating an account.

Canada will share Group A with Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic and El Salvador, with the top four teams in the group advancing to the quarter-finals. From there, a single-knockout format will follow. The top six teams will earn entry into 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup qualifying tournaments.

Making up the roster are five Olympians who suited up for the Senior Women’s National Team in Paris last summer, in Kayla Alexander, Shay Colley, Yvonne Ejim, Sami Hill and Syla Swords.

While the likes of Bridget Carleton, Aaliyah Edwards and Kia Nurse starring in the WNBA during the competition, in comes seven Canadians who will round out the roster — Niyah Becker, Shy Day-Wilson, Delaney Gibb, Phillipina Kyei, Emily Potter, Merissah Russell and Tara Wallack.

Canada will be looking to capture their fourth AmeriCup title, first winning the tournament in 1995, followed by back-to-back victories in 2015 — on home soil in Edmonton — and 2017. Canada has finished top four in each of the last eight editions of the competition, dating back to 2009, including a bronze medal win in 2023.

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
