The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) has announced that Guyana will host the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Women’s Championship from November 9 to 17 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in Georgetown.
The tournament marks a significant milestone for regional basketball, returning for the first time since 2018, when Suriname last hosted the event. This year, ten of the Caribbean’s leading basketball nations are expected to compete for coveted spots at the Women’s CentroBasket Tournament, which serves as a crucial qualifier for the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup.
Preparations at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall will be prioritised to ensure the venue meets international standards. A Local Organising Committee (LOC) will also be established to manage the tournament’s logistics.
The CBC Women’s Championship holds special meaning for Guyana, which has a proud history in regional basketball. In 1996, the Guyanese women’s national team secured the country’s first Caribbean title at the CARICOM Basketball Championship in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
