Teams Preview

Brazil

Brazil enter the FIBA Women’s Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament 2026 as one of the strongest teams in Group A and will be favored against South Sudan in their opening clash. The Brazilians bring a ton of international experience and a disciplined, fast paced style that has consistently made them one of the top programs in the Americas.

Alana Goncalo serves as the primary floor general due to her elite national team assists numbers. She will look to feed Bella Nascimento, who stretches defenses with her shooting. Aline Moura is expected to log heavy minutes as the primary starting center to match the physical interior presence of Group A opponents like New Zealand and South Sudan.

Brazil’s depth, rebounding strength and defensive intensity should give them the edge against a South Sudan side making its debut in this competition.

Expect Brazil to dictate the tempo, capitalize on transition opportunities and open their campaign with a convincing victory as they begin their quest for an Olympic qualification berth. 

South Sudan

South Sudan's women's national basketball team enters the FIBA Women's Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament 2026 with explosive athleticism and physical dominance in the paint. Their most recent head-to-head encounter during the World Cup Qualifiers in March 2026 ended in a 79–94 loss to Brazil.

Despite that 15 point defeat, South Sudan heavily controlled interior play, outworking Brazil on the glass to dominate the total rebounding battle. However, South Sudan struggled with perimeter defense and transition efficiency, allowing Brazil’s precise ball movement to pull away late in the game.

To pull off an upset in their upcoming Group A rematch in Guadalajara, South Sudan must limit turnovers and leverage the interior presence of anchors like Adut Bulgak and Maria Gakdeng.
