SINGAPORE – With just three tickets to the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026 on the line, the women’s field at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup Qualifier is loaded with talent ready to deliver under pressure.
Given the tournament format at The Kallang, games will be fast, physical and unforgiving. This is where one player can take over and change everything in an instant.
From proven veterans to rising stars, here are the players to watch in Singapore.
Vivi Böröndy (Hungary)
Hungary’s charge will be led by the steady presence of Vivi Böröndy.
A veteran of the national team, Böröndy returns after a two-year hiatus, having last played at the FIBA 3x3 OQT 2024. Of course, she brings valuable experience and composure to a squad filled with emerging talent. For sure, she’ll be counted on to anchor the team in high-pressure moments.
With youthful faces around her, Böröndy’s leadership could be the key to unlocking Hungary’s full potential.
Kacey De la Rosa (Philippines)
Few players arrive with as much momentum as Kacey De la Rosa.
The rising star played a major role in the Philippines’ historic silver-medal finish at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2026, showcasing her energy, versatility and ability to impact both ends of the court. A multiple Youth Nations League winner and two-time university MVP, she represents the next generation of Philippine 3x3 basketball talent.
Her relentless motor and fearless approach make her a constant presence on the court.
Gabriele Sulske (Lithuania)
Gabriele Sulske is the definition of consistency.
A key figure in Lithuania’s recent success, including a podium finish at the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup 2023 and gold at the European Games 2023, she brings scoring balance, smart positioning and composure. Her experience on the FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series stage adds another layer of reliability.
In a format where efficiency is everything, Sulske’s steady contributions can quietly decide games.
Luana de Souza (Brazil)
Luana de Souza brings energy and plenty of it.
An athletic, aggressive player, she was instrumental in Brazil’s third-place finish at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup 2025 and led the team during their FIBA 3x3 World Cup Qualifier campaign last year. Her ability to attack the rim, defend actively and thrive in physicality makes her a constant threat.
If Brazil are to make a deep run, expect de Souza to be right at the center of it.
Soraya Mohamed (Egypt)
The "Queen of Egypt" returns, and she brings star power and legacy.
A multiple-time FIBA 3x3 Africa Cup champion and a defining figure in Egypt’s 3x3 journey, Soraya Mohamed arrives with the experience and presence to lead her team once again. Her ability to rise in big moments has made her one of the most respected players in the region.
With Egypt looking to bounce back, Mohamed’s influence will be crucial.
Jermaine Lim Jia Ying (Singapore)
Leading the charge for the hosts, Jermaine Lim Jia Ying carries the hopes of Singapore.
A FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series veteran, she played a key role in Singapore’s breakthrough top-7 finish at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2026 and continues to build momentum through strong performances on the regional stage.
With home support behind her, Lim’s energy and leadership could elevate Singapore’s performance even further.
Final word
In this tournament, stars won't wait. They will act.
Whether it’s De la Rosa’s energy, Sulske’s consistency, or Mohamed’s leadership, these players have the ability to define games and shape the race to the FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2026.
With everything on the line, expect them to seize the moment and rise to the occasion in Singapore.
