Team Canada Down Under: The Canadian Women’s Basketball Team takes on the World Cup

The FIBA Women’s World Cup is well underway in Sydney, Australia, and the Canadian Senior Women’s Basketball team has something to prove — not just to the world but also to themselves.

Last time we saw the squad in action at a major competition was at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games (in July of 2021 of course). The result was disappointing, as Team Canada did not make it to the quarterfinals, finishing 9th place overall.

This time around, the team looks a lot different. With a brand new coaching staff comprised of international talent, it feels like a breath of fresh air has uplifted this team.
