ISTANBUL (Türkiye) - Nigeria and Canada have set a new all-time high rebounding tally at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup 2026 Qualifying Tournaments after they both posted a record 58 boards within hours of each other.
Nigeria were first to rack up a new high tide mark as they used their physical presence to great effect in Lyon-Villeurbanne to move past Philippines 101-84.
Canada then matched their feat by downing Americas rivals Argentina 75-41 to improve in Istanbul, using their prowess on the glass to provide the platform for victory.
Much of their record-breaking work was due to forward Aaliyah Edwards who hauled down 15 of them.
