Are you passionate about basketball and have dreamt about representing your country? That dream can become a reality thanks to the recent merger between GB Masters and FIMBA GB. We are now seeking expression of interest from players of all abilities, aged 35-75+ to represent Great Britain at the upcoming European Championships in Greece.
The 10 FIMBA GB Masters teams have returned from their first ever World Championships in Ticino, Switzerland and although not medalling this, there were some impressive individual and outstanding team performances allowing the teams to gain huge insight to be ready for the next World Championships in Brazil 2027.
Jim Durie, has been with FIMBA GB since the beginning in Malaga 2022 and was part of the European gold medal winning +70 Men’s team last year in Pesaro. Unable to travel to Switzerland this season, Jim has sent a message to his teammates and the wider FIMBA GB family.
FIMBA GB is proud to confirm that we are sending 10 officially recognised Great Britain teams to the 2025 FIMBA World Championships in Switzerland, spanning all eligible age categories.
As we prepare to enter the World Championships for the first time, sending 10 teams, we want to say a big thank you to all our volunteer coaches, team managers, physios and support staff.
