Canada Basketball selects final roster ahead of FIBA World Cup Qualifiers

Though basketball is a summer Olympic sport and not a winter one, the Canadian Senior Women’s Basketball Team will still be in action THIS WEEK at their FIBA World Cup Qualifier games in Osaka, Japan.

Canada has already secured their spot at the World Cup in Sydney, Australia this September, due to the decision of Belarus not to participate in the qualifier. This weekend’s games will still be important though, as it will give new coaching staff — led by Victor LaPena and Noelle Quinn — a chance to see their team play before heading down under this fall.
