Taissa Queiroz To Join Brazilian National Team For Tour Brazil At The WNBA

March 25, 2025 | Women's Basketball

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Enrolling early to join the Tar Heels for the spring semester, North Carolina women's basketball freshman Taissa Queiroz will join her native country of Brazil and its national team for their Tour Brazil at the WNBA later this spring.

Playing two games against WNBA franchises as part of their preseason, Brazil will travel to LSU to face off against the Chicago Sky from Baton Rouge on May 2 and to Iowa on May 4 to take on the Indiana Fever in Iowa City. Brazil is using the games to start the training cycle for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games and as preparation for the FIBA Women's Americup this summer in Chile.

Queiroz, originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, joined the Tar Heels this spring to practice with Carolina prior to the 2025-26 season. Ranked as a four-star prospect by ESPN, Queiroz is no stranger to the national stage as she assisted her home country to a first-place finish at the 2022 U18 South America Cup in Argentina.
