The WNBA’s season shifts into a FIBA World Cup break with teams sending players to the tournament in Germany, which starts Sept. 4 in Berlin. Among the league’s clubs, the New York Liberty have the most players selected, with seven scheduled to compete.
The Liberty roster reflects wide international reach, drawing from multiple countries. Reports identify players from France, Nigeria, China, Germany, Australia, Spain, and the Bahamas, along with players from the United States. Other WNBA teams also send representatives, but none match New York’s total number headed to the event.
While coverage is consistent that the Liberty lead the WNBA in World Cup participation, outlets focus on different details. Yahoo emphasizes the spread of nationalities and New York’s international makeup, while the Winnipeg Free Press centers on the overall league-leading count of seven Liberty players. Across sources, the key shared points are the Liberty’s leading number and the start of the tournament in Berlin on Sept. 4.
