GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana Basketball Federation (GFF) has named a four-person squad to take part in the upcoming 2025 FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup.

The tournament, which will be held in Leon, Mexico, will run from November 27 to 30. Guyana has been placed in Group A of the qualifying round, where they will face Jamaica and St Lucia on November 27.

US-based Deylon Bovell, who will make his AmeriCup debut, leads the team, which includes Nikkoloi Smith, Travis Belgrave, and Harold Adams, three players with prior AmeriCup experience.

The combination of experienced campaigners and new blood, the GBF believes, presents a well-balanced mix for success.

GBF President Michael Singh said Bovell’s inclusion was a significant boost to the team.

“Deylon has always been committed to representing Guyana. He understands the 3×3 game, he’s seasoned, and we believe he will bring a fresh dynamic to the squad,” Singh said.

Should Guyana advance, they will join Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in Group B of the main draw.

The remaining teams already placed in the main field include Mexico (hosts), defending champions USA, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.

Other countries participating in the qualifiers are Trinidad and Tobago, St Kitts and Nevis, Haiti, The Bahamas, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Ecuador.
