Aces Forward Steph Talbot Named to Australia’s 2026 World Cup Team
Las Vegas Aces forward Steph Talbot has been selected for Australia’s final roster at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin.
Las Vegas Aces forward Steph Talbot has been named to Australia’s final roster for the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, giving Las Vegas fans another local connection to this summer’s international basketball spotlight.
Talbot will represent Australia in Berlin
The Aces announced the selection on July 26, 2026. FIBA’s roster announcement also lists Talbot among Australia’s 12 players for the tournament, which is scheduled for Sept. 4–13 in Berlin, Germany.
Australia, known as the Opals, will play Puerto Rico, Belgium and Türkiye in Group C. Talbot brings extensive senior-national-team experience, including appearances at the 2022 World Cup and the Paris 2024 Olympic tournament.
What it means for Las Vegas fans
This is international roster news rather than a new Las Vegas event, so there is no local venue, parking plan or ticket information tied to the announcement. For Aces supporters, the main takeaway is simple: a current Las Vegas player will be part of Australia’s World Cup push.
Fans following the Aces should wait for official team updates before assuming anything about Talbot’s availability for future WNBA games. The selection itself does not confirm a change to the Aces schedule.
The September 2026 Tournament Dates
At the time of the July 2026 roster announcement, the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup was scheduled for September 4–13, 2026 in Berlin, with Australia’s group stage beginning September 4. Those dates have now passed. The roster announcement remains historical news; consult FIBA for results and future competitions.
