Victoria will host Canada’s Women’s National Basketball Team in an international tune-up series shortly before the team vies for Olympic gold.

The Friends of Victoria Basketball Society, in collaboration with the Rifflandia Entertainment Company, is organizing a three-game series between the Canadian and Portugal women’s national teams at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in late June.

The series and a training camp at the University of Victoria will be held about month before the Canadians squad competes at the Summer Olympics in Paris.
