Guam is set to welcome the men’s and women’s teams from Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Northern Marianas Islands and Palau. who will be seeking places in next year's Pacific Games, due to be held in the Solomon Islands between November 19 and December 1.

Guam won the men's tournament at the 2019 Pacific Games in Apia in Samoa. 

American Samoa won the gold medal in the women's event. 

The 2018 Micronesian Games, a multi-sport event in the region, served as the qualifying event for the 2019 Pacific Games.

"We are excited to host another event in Guam and are looking forward to seeing the Micronesian teams take to the court for the first time since the 2018 Micronesian Games," FIBA Oceania executive director Crocker said.

Guam is also due to host the pre-qualifiers for the FIBA Asia Cup from May 30 to June 5.

GBC President Calvo is not concerned by the busy schedule.

"It’s an exciting period for Guam Basketball," he said. 

"Our players love representing the uniform and we cannot wait to get back out onto the court."
