TORONTO (September 15, 2026) – Canada Basketball announced today the 3×3 U23 Women’s National Team roster that will represent Canada at the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2026 in Wuhan, China, taking place September 15-19.
Canada earned its spot in the tournament after going undefeated at the FIBA 3×3 Youth Nations League – Americas South in July.
The Canadian roster features Mary-Anna Asare (Pickering, Ont.), Cyanne Coe (Bolton, Ont.), Hailey Franco-Deryck (Etobicoke, Ont.) and Myriam Koné (Edmonton, Alta.). Asare, Coe and Franco-Deryck competed at the Youth Nations League in July, with Coe and Franco-Deryck helping Canada secure its World Cup berth. Koné will make her 3×3 debut after attending Senior Women’s National Team training camps in Montreal and Victoria this summer.
3×3 Senior Women’s National Team member Katherine Plouffe will serve as the team’s consultant.
“The 3×3 U23 World Cup is a result of the effort and performance of our athletes throughout the summer,” said Steve Baur, General Manager and Vice President of Women’s High Performance at Canada Basketball. “Our 3×3 pool had a great summer to earn this opportunity, and we’re looking forward to competing on the world stage. Adding Katherine to the staff provides valuable perspective from the highest levels of 3×3 and complements the experience of our athletes as our program continues to move forward.”
Canada enters the tournament as the 18th seed and has been drawn into Pool B alongside Netherlands, Czechia, Poland and Chinese Taipei.
The Canadians will open pool play on September 15 against Czechia at 10:00 p.m. ET before facing Poland at 12:55 a.m. ET. Canada returns to action on September 17 against Chinese Taipei at 10:25 p.m. ET and Netherlands at 12:30 a.m. ET.
