Visit Victoria is proud to be partnering with Basketball Australia and TEG to bring the exclusive USA Basketball Men’s National Team and Australian Boomers Series to Victoria at Etihad Stadium on 22 and 24 August 2019.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events John Eren and Peter Bingeman CEO of Visit Victoria, joined representatives from Basketball Australia and USA Basketball today to announce the two-game series.
It will be the first time the USA will play in Australia since the 2000 Sydney Olympics and will give thousands of fans the chance to see some of the world’s best basketballers battle it out on the court, before heading to China for the FIBA World Cup later that month.
The Basketball USA-Australia series will be played at Etihad Stadium on 22 and 24 August 2019.
I’m proud of Visit Victoria’s involvement in securing this fantastic event for Melbourne which will bring in sports fans and event lovers from right around Australia and across Asia.
We expect these games in 2019 will again showcase international basketball at its highest level.
A wait-list for tickets is now open at teglive.com.au.
