World Wheelchair Basketball Championships 2010

Following on from the successful staging of the World Junior Wheelchair Basketball Championships in August 2005, Birmingham and the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Association (GBWBA) have won the bid to stage the senior version of the event in 2010, just two years before the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

This International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) event will be staged at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena in July 2010 and will be organised by GBWBA and Birmingham City Council, with support from the National Lottery through UK Sport’s World Class Events Programme.

The tournament will see 12 men’s and 10 women’s teams compete in the most important and biggest wheelchair basketball event before the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

The tournament will run from Wednesday 7th July to Saturday 17th July, at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham.
