Joy Adams leads newly selected Guyana Women's Basketball team for Suriname series
The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) has announced its 12-member women's team for an upcoming two-game series against Suriname, scheduled for August 10-11, 2025, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. The selection marks a significant milestone in Guyana's women's basketball development.
Professional Talent Leads National Squad
Europe-based professional Joy Adams headlines the roster as team captain, preparing for her historic 5-on-5 debut on home soil.
