Teams Preview

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico Women battled hard but ultimately fell 70-54 to Australia in their FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2026 Group C opener in Berlin.

Arella Guirantes led the charge with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Trinity San Antonio and Imani McGee Stafford added 11 points each. Imani also contributed 12 rebounds, but their efforts weren't enough. 

Offensively, Puerto Rico just shot 30% from the field, including a poor 27.8% from the perimeter and 63.6% from the free throw line. The team also lacked ball movement, recording just 6 assists. Defensively, they did show their defensive efforts through 14 steals, 7 blocks, but got outrebounded 52-43 on the boards, giving away second chance opportunities and committed 20 turnovers. 

Puerto Rico must now improve offensive efficiency and rebounding if they are to challenge Belgium and Turkey in Group C.

Belgium

Belgium Women opened their FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2026 campaign with an impressive 89-75 victory over Turkey in Berlin.

Emma Meesseman delivered the standout performance, scoring 27 points on 12-of-21 shooting and earning a game high 31 efficiency rating. Julie Vanloo added 22 points, shooting 6-of-11 from three point range.

Offensively, Belgium were efficient throughout, shooting 49% from the field and an excellent 59.1% on two point attempts. Defensively, they controlled the boards 42-32, limited Turkey to 45% overall shooting and forced 9 key turnovers. 

Belgium’s ability to combine efficient interior scoring with perimeter shooting and a devastating third quarter defensive effort makes them a serious Group C contender.
