Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers Headline USA Basketball Roster for World Cup Qualifying

Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers are among the players who will represent Team USA on its 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup qualifying roster.

The aforementioned trio, Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen are making their senior national team debuts for Team USA in Puerto Rico, per ESPN's Alexa Philippou.

The United States has already qualified for the FIBA World Cup by virtue of being 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup champions. However, they will still take part in the six-team round robin qualifying tournament, which runs from March 11-17 in San Juan. Host Puerto Rico, New Zealand, Senegal, Italy and Spain are the other five teams.

Clark, Reese and Bueckers were among those who participated in a senior team training camp last December at Duke University.

Obviously, this is a big moment for Team USA women's basketball as the team ushers in a host of new stars on the international level.

The United States will begin the qualifying tournament on March 11 against Senegal. The Americans will play five total games from March 11-17.

This year's FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup will take place from September 4-13 in Berlin.
