In Pool A, the Gangurrus opened their campaign against the Netherlands, followed by a match-up with Takasaki (Japan).
Leading the Australian charge was Miela Sowah, who returned to the squad after helping the Gangurrus claim gold at the 2025 FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup.
Joining Sowah was Hannah Hank, who made her mark at the 2025 Champions Cup 3x3 in Bangkok and continued her strong form in Chengdu.
The squad also welcomed two exciting debutants, Lara McSpadden and Alex Fowler.
Fowler, a former Australian junior representative at the 2018 FIBA 3x3 Under-18 World Cup, was eager to make her mark at the senior level.
“It’s really cool to look back and see how far 3x3 has come since then. There wasn’t much exposure or tournaments for 3x3 globally, and you’ve seen the success within the Gangurrus internationally and how well they’ve done and the name they’ve made for themselves, so I’m honoured to be a part of it now,” said Fowler.
