Teams Preview
Canada
Canada Women enter the FIBA Women’s Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament 2026 as one of the leading contenders, ranked 7th in the FIBA Women’s World Ranking and placed in Group B alongside Senegal, Mexico and the Philippines.
Aaliyah Edwards anchors the team's entire interior system, while Bridget Carleton, the dynamic guard handles the perimeter.
Canada’s biggest strength is their depth and experience against elite international opposition. With only the group’s top two advancing to the semifinals, Canada will want a strong start. Their defensive pressure, rebounding and superior overall depth should give them the edge.
Senegal
Senegal enters the upcoming Fiba Women’s Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament 2026 as the clear underdog against global powerhouse Canada.
The Senegalese arrive with strong African basketball pedigree and valuable experience from recent FIBA competitions. Their physical approach, athleticism and ability to compete around the basket will be crucial against Canada’s deeper roster.
Senegal will look to forward Sika Kone, who anchors the team with dominant rebounding. Guard Cierra Dillard provides critical perimeter playmaking, while veteran Yacine Diop adds scoring punch.
Senegal’s biggest challenge will be containing Canada’s pace, defensive pressure and offensive depth. With only the top two teams from Group B advancing to the semifinals, a strong start is essential. Senegal will need disciplined defense, efficient shooting and control of the rebounding battle to create an upset opportunity against one of the tournament’s strongest teams.
