Guyana to make historic 3×3 basketball debut at Commonwealth Games

Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) Vice President Rawle Toney recently disclosed that the Federation’s primary focus for 2026 will be the 3×3 format, particularly with their participation in one of the world’s largest multi-sport events.
“I think the biggest thing happening for us this year is that we will be participating in the Commonwealth Games this year, so it will be the first time that Guyana will be playing at a major multi-sport event in basketball,” Toney stated.
In the exclusive interview, Toney also elaborated on how the team qualified for the Commonwealth Games.
“Our 3×3 team were given a spot; the Guyana Olympic Association asked us if we would accept it or not, which we did. So, we will be featured in the second largest multi-sport event in the world, we will be making our debut there, so what you will find for 3×3 is that everything will be strategic around that,” he explained.
Guyana will make its inaugural appearance in basketball at the Commonwealth Games, scheduled to take place in Glasgow, Scotland from July 23 to August 2, 2026.
