Bulgak was part of the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Qualifiers 2023, a competition in which she began to consolidate herself as one of the main internal references of the South Sudanese national team. Later, she participated in the FIBA Women’s AfroBasket 2025, held in Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), where South Sudan won the bronze medal, a historic result for the country’s basketball.

With her arrival at SPAR Girona, Bulgak brings experience, physical power and rebounding ability to the paint, as well as extensive international experience having competed in Europe, Asia, America and the WNBA. Her addition strengthens the team’s interior game ahead of a 2026/27 season in which SPAR Girona will face new challenges both nationally and Europeanly.
Statements from Pere Puig, sports director of SPAR Girona:
“ With the arrival of Adut Bulgak we have added the last piece we were missing. A player who will certainly help us a lot in rebounding and who also has a very good hand from the three-point line. It was an indispensable fact that Roberto was looking for: that, at least, one of the interior players could also play from the three-point line and open up the field. Adut will certainly help us a lot in this aspect and will be an important player within Roberto’s schemes.”
