USA Standout Saniyah Hall Crowned TISSOT Most Valuable Player

Saniyah Hall was named the TISSOT Most Valuable Player of the FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup 2025 after leading USA to an astonishing 11th title.

The versatile and super-talented Hall, who is also eligible to play at the next edition of the competition in 2027, was on-fire from start to finish in the tournament.

In the Final she showed why she was a worthy winner of the individual accolade with a monstrous display to take her team past Australia 88-76. She accrued an eye-popping efficiency of 35 after recording 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

Saniyah Hall led the All-Star Five after registering an average performance efficiency valuation of 24.0 across the 2025 edition. This was achieved after a phenomenal return of 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.9 steals per game. She also shot brilliantly too - netting 52.6 percent from the field and shooting 39.3 percent from three-point range.

Hall was joined on the All-Star Five by USA teammate Sienna Betts along with Australian guard Bonnie Deas, Spanish ace Somtochukwu Okafor and Canadian leader Syla Swords.

Betts was a constant problem for opposing defenses from the first jump-ball. She eventually harvested a tournament double-double of 14.6 points and 10.0 rebounds per outing, also blocking 2.1 shots per game and shooting a fantastic 58.7 percent from the floor.

Deas was instrumental in Australia making their run to the title game and averaged 12.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.

Okafor put in a special double-double display in the Third Place Game to propel Spain to bronze and the guard averaged 12.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in the competition.
