History

[edit | edit source]

Basketball England was founded in 1936 as the Amateur Basketball Association of England and Wales.[3]

In 2006, the organisation, alongside Basketball Scotland and Basketball Wales, helped establish Great Britain Basketball.[citation needed]

In September 2014, the organisation announced a rebrand from England Basketball to Basketball England.[4][5]

The logo changed in 2014.[5]
