Who are the parents of Liz Cambage?
Born in London on August 18, 1991, Cambage was raised in Melbourne, Australia, by her mother, Julia Cambage, after her parents separated when she was just three months old. Liz’s father’s identity remains largely unknown. Growing up, Cambage faced bullying due to her towering height, which led her to start playing basketball at the age of 10. Her journey to professional basketball began in 2007 when she joined the Dandenong Rangers.
In an interview with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, Cambage spoke about her controversial exit from the Australian national team ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She refuted the allegations of racist remarks during a practice game with the Nigerian national team, which led to her removal from the Australian squad. Cambage maintained that she had been in talks with Nigeria and expressed her hope to represent the country at the upcoming Olympics.
Despite Cambage’s intentions to switch allegiances, members of the Nigerian team, including Promise Amukamara, have disputed her claims. Amukamara countered that Cambage had used racial slurs during the scrimmage and accused her of lying about the events that transpired. As the situation continues to unfold, Cambage’s background as a daughter of both Nigerian and Australian heritage adds complexity to her allegiance shift, highlighting her connection to both nations.
