GUYANA’S men’s 3×3 basketball team is set to compete in the qualifying round of the FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup, which will take place from November 27–30 in León, Mexico.
The FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup is the continent’s premier competition, bringing together top teams across the Americas. Guyana is yet to secure a direct entry into the men’s main draw.
The nation’s best performance in the tournament came in 2022 when a team featuring Delroy James, Gordon James, Nikkoloi Smith, and Shelroy Thomas advanced from the qualifiers but narrowly missed a quarterfinal place in Miami.

This year, Guyana has been drawn into Group A of the qualifying round, where it will play Jamaica and St Lucia on November 27. The winner of the group will advance to the main draw, where it will face Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in Group B.

The teams already in the main draw include the host nation, Mexico, defending champions, the USA, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina.
Other nations competing in the qualifiers include Trinidad and Tobago, St Kitts and Nevis, Haiti, The Bahamas, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Ecuador.
In preparation for the tournament, the Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) will host its National 3×3 Championship on September 27–28. The event will select the players who will represent Guyana.

GBF President, Michael Singh, acknowledged the challenging draw but remains optimistic about his team’s chances.
“St Lucia and Jamaica are worthy opponents, but we believe in the talent at our disposal,” Singh said. “We are determined to field a team capable of surpassing our 2022 showing.”
Last year, the Cayman Islands and Haiti eliminated Guyana’s team of Harold Adams, Nikkoli Smith, Travis Belgrave, and Dominic Vincente from the qualifiers.
