One million reasons to smile about FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup
With 500 days to go until the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup tips off, the NSW Government has announced it will invest $1 million into legacy initiatives to support the growth of the sport in NSW.
Minster for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said hosting the world’s best basketballers in Sydney would create significant benefit for the NSW visitor economy, provide entertainment for local and visiting fans, and inspire future players.
“At such an exciting time for basketball, the NSW Government is committed to ensuring the next generation of Opals have more opportunities to participate in the sport in the lead up and beyond the World Cup”, Mr Ayres said.
