2026 has been a standout year for Mogi Basquete’s youth teams. In a few months, the club added an unbeaten U14 title and became the center of attention for Brazil’s youth national team.
U14 Liberty Cup: champions without a loss
In July, Mogi’s U14 team won the 2026 Liberty Cup, played at the Perfect Liberty Complex in Arujá, São Paulo state, with teams from several Brazilian states. Mogi beat Corinthians 86-41 and, in the final, defeated Bauru Basketball 66-47 to finish the tournament unbeaten.
According to the newspaper A Semana, the team coached by Caio Bueris had gone more than a year without losing in competition. Three Mogi players were named to the all-tournament team, including the MVP.
National U15 camp in Mogi das Cruzes
From September 5 to 7, the Hugo Ramos Arena hosted the U15 camp of the CBB (Brazilian Basketball Confederation), which scouts players born in 2011 and 2012. The goal is to build the Brazilian team for the 2027 FIBA U16 AmeriCup, for which Brazil has already qualified.
Mogi had five players called up to the camp, and the club’s strength and conditioning coach joined the staff. The CBB president attended the practices.
What it shows
Scouting camps like this are the first step toward the national team. For U14 and U15 players, the message is clear: consistent performance at club level, in tournaments and state championships, is what puts a player on the confederation’s radar.
