GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) has hailed the historic achievement of its 3×3 basketball team, which has qualified for the 2026 Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow, Scotland.
Guyana, along with neighbours Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, is among 12 teams set to take part in the Games from July 24 to 29 at the Scottish Event Centre (SEC).
It marks the first time Guyana will compete in basketball at a major multi-sport event outside of regional competition.
President of the GBF, Michael Singh, described the milestone as “a monumental occasion for Guyana basketball.”
“This qualification shows that the hard work the GBF has done in 3×3 basketball is being recognised internationally. It’s a historic moment for our federation and for Guyanese sport.
“We’re committed to a robust plan now to not only select the best players, but also to prepare Guyana for the competition ahead, giving our players a real opportunity to compete for a medal,” Singh said.
Singh said preparation plans will include strengthening domestic tournaments, increasing international exposure, staging targeted training camps, and potentially integrating overseas-based talent.
The president said the goal is to ensure Guyana’s squad arrives in Glasgow well-prepared, confident, and capable of challenging higher-ranked opponents.
The rest of the field includes Singapore, Kenya, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Fiji, Nigeria, and host nation Scotland, with the Glasgow edition featuring an expanded field compared to the eight-team format used at the Birmingham 2022 Games.
