This year’s FIBA World Cup will take place in Berlin from September 4-13. The WNBA will be well-represented with Team USA as well as the many international players who compete in the league.
Some countries, such as the U.S. and Australia, have already confirmed their 12-player rosters. Others, like France and Belgium, have narrowed it down to player pools and preselect announcements, but have yet to finalize their rosters. Yet others, like Germany, haven’t announced anything yet.
So, this list will be updated as rosters are finalized.
Atlanta Dream
Confirmed: Angel Reese, USA; Rhyne Howard, USA; Isobel Borlase, Australia
Others: So far, Mali has only announced a preselect player pool with 23 players. Sika Kone was the team’s second-leading scorer at the World Cup Qualifying Tournament in China and should make the roster.
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky currently have no players on confirmed rosters or in preselect player pools.
Connecticut Sun
Confirmed: Leïla Lacan, France
Dallas Wings
Confirmed: Paige Bueckers, USA; Alanna Smith, Australia
Others: DP player Costanza Verona was named to Italy’s eighteen-player pool. She was already on the 2025 EuroBasket roster and played at the World Cup Qualifying Tournament this year. Li Yueru is widely expected to lead China.
Golden State Valkyries
Confirmed, Gabby Williams, France; Janelle Salaün, France; Miela Sowha, Australia; Cecilia Zandalasini, Italy
Indiana Fever
Confirmed: Aliyah Boston, USA; Caitlin Clark, USA
Las Vegas Aces
Confirmed: A’ja Wilson, USA; Jackie Young, USA; Chelsea Gray, USA; Stephanie Talbot, Australia, Mai Yamamoto, Japan
Los Angeles Sparks
Confirmed: Jihyun Park, Korea
Minnesota Lynx
Confirmed: Napheesa Collier, USA; Chloe Bibby, Australia; Antonia Delaere, Belgium; Eliska Joklava, Czechia; Dorka Juhasz, Hungary
New York Liberty
Confirmed: Breanna Stewart, USA; Pauline Astier, France; Marine Johannes, France
Others: Raquel Carrera is on the list of players hoping to make Spain’s final roster. Germany is certainly hoping that Leonie Fiebich will play, especially since it has been announced that Satou Sabally will be out. Moreover, Han Xu should be one of the top players for China.
Phoenix Mercury
Confirmed: Kelsey Plum, USA; Kahleah Copper, USA; Valariane Ayayi, France; Kyara Linskens, Belgium
Portland Fire
Confirmed: Carla Leite, France
Others: Megan DiLeo has been a star for the Spanish national team for a few years now. Luisa Geiselsöder and Frieda Bühner should make the German team once it’s announced.
Seattle Storm
Confirmed: Ezi Magbegor, Australia; Jade Melbourne, Australia; Dominique Malonga, France
Others: Awa Fam is on the list of players expected to suit up for Spain.
Toronto Tempo
Confirmed: Julie Allemand, Belgium
Others: Maria Conde will probably play for Spain, but the roster hasn’t been officially finalized. Moreover, it’s difficult to imagine that Nyara Sabally would miss out on representing Germany at a tournament in Berlin.
Washington Mystics
With Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen not on Team USA and Georgia Amoore not playing for Australia, Alicia Florenz is the only Mystics player potentially headed to Berlin with the Spanish national team.
