ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia (June 21, 2025) – Canada Basketball has announced the men’s and women’s 3x3 national team rosters for the 2025 FIBA 3x3 World Cup, set to take place June 23–29 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

For the first time, both Canadian 3x3 national teams will take the court at the same World Cup — a milestone moment for the program on the global stage. Fans can follow the journey live on the FIBA 3x3 YouTube channel.

Women’s Team Preview: Chasing the podium

The women’s national team returns to the World Cup following a fourth-place finish at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Canada’s best-ever finish came in 2022, when the team captured silver.

Canada enters the event ranked eighth in the women’s FIBA 3x3 federation standings and will compete in Pool C alongside No. 3 France, No. 11 Hungary, No. 14 Austria and No. 18 Latvia.

Olympians Paige Crozon and Kacie Bosch lead the roster, joined by Cassandra Brown and Saicha Grant-Allen. Grant-Allen was named most valuable player at the inaugural FIBA 3x3 Champions Cup, where Canada claimed gold in March of this year.
