If you’ve been inspired by Team GB’s incredible performances at the Olympics, there is an opportunity for all basketball players (aged from 35 years upwards) to experience a similar feeling, by representing FIMBA GB at next year’s World Championships in Ticino, Switzerland.
The Championships give players a unique opportunity to play with and against some of the finest players to ever take the court, from former NBA/WNBA players to International and Euroleague professionals, all in the true spirit of Masters basketball. New friendships will be formed across the World at the Opening Ceremony, at the socials or even after the games themselves.
We are now accepting applications for players, coaches and team managers to have the opportunity to be part of this amazing experience and pull on the Nike FIMBA GB kit. If you think you have what it takes, fill in the online application form by clicking here. All players are welcome to try out, no matter your experience.
