HISTORIC MOMENT FOR DOMINICA BASKETBALL AS SENIOR MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM HEADS TO FIBA AMERICUP 2029 CARIBBEAN PRE-QUALIFIERS

The Dominica Basketball Association is proud to officially announce the Senior Men’s National Basketball Team delegation that will represent Dominica at the FIBA AmeriCup 2029 Caribbean Pre-Qualifiers.

This tournament represents a historic milestone for Dominica basketball, marking the first time that Dominica’s Senior Men’s National Team will participate in a FIBA tournament.

Dominica previously participated at the junior level in a FIBA competition in 2016. A decade later, the country now takes another important step in its basketball journey, with the Senior Men’s National Team entering FIBA competition for the first time.

This moment represents more than participation in a tournament. It is an opportunity to strengthen the national basketball programme, provide international exposure for Dominican players and coaches, and establish a stronger pathway for future generations of national team athletes.

Dominica’s participation in this historic tournament has been made possible through the support of the Dominica Olympic Committee. The Dominica Basketball Association expresses its sincere appreciation to the Committee for its contribution towards making the team’s participation possible.
