SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
NBA and UK Government announce comprehensive plan to elevate basketball in the UK
Source: www.gov.uk
The UK Government’s commitment to invest £400 million over the next four years on its Community Sport Facilities Programme includes £5 million in the first year for basketball and basketball-led multi-sport facilities in England. This is a new approach for the UK Government, investing beyond football-led grassroots facilities under this programme for the first time.
This new dedicated funding for basketball will unlock a planned £5 million of investment from the NBA into grassroots development and fan engagement programmes through 2028, expanding the NBA’s existing programming that reaches more than 50,000 youth across the UK annually.
