MIAMI (United States) — The countdown to the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2025 is officially underway. As preparations continue in Chile, FIBA has unveiled the official medal design that will be awarded to the national teams reaching the podium at the premier women’s basketball competition in the Americas. The medal design was created by Paraguayan artist Lili Cantero. She is known for her artwork and passion for connecting art and sports. Cantero's connection and admiration for female athletes make her contributions to the women's tournament even more meaningful.
More than just a sports accolade, the medal was envisioned as a representation of values that define women’s basketball: strength, perseverance, unity, and cultural pride. Inspired by Chile’s majestic geography, the medal rises like the Andes Mountains—solid, untamed, and monumental. Every contour on its surface symbolizes the athlete’s constant climb, her daily effort to push boundaries, and reach new heights. Its circular shape represents the eternal cycle of sport: effort, dedication, triumph, and legacy. A prominent feature of the design is a star, which symbolizes guidance, excellence, and determination. It also echoes the star on the Chilean flag and represents the dreams of every woman who steps onto the court, lighting the way for future generations. At the center of the medal is a basketball, inspired by the silhouette of the official trophy, serving as the transformative core of the design. Surrounding it are textured elements that reflect Chile’s landscape and cultural identity, telling a story of how sports are intertwined with the soul of a nation. This medal not only celebrates victory on the court but also honors the quiet work behind the scenes— the faith that moves mountains, and the resilience of those who may fall but stand back up. It is a tribute to every woman who leaves a positive impact on the game with each pass and play. The FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2025 will serve as a celebration of the talent, passion, and diversity of women’s basketball across the continent. And the medal will remain an eternal symbol of that story.
