CANBERRA (Australia) – The countdown continues to the FIBA U15 Oceania Cup 2024, with FIBA and Basketball Australia unveiling the official event logo and websites.
Designed to represent the 2024 edition of the event, and the unique characteristics of the region, the logo showcases the diverse culture, landscape and passion for basketball.
“We are proud to showcase the best youth basketballers in the Oceania region at our FIBA Youth events, and we believe this logo shows how our region is united through culture, location, landscape and sport,” FIBA Executive Director – Oceania, Amanda Jenkins said.
“Basketball is the heart of the logo which highlights the unifying impact of sport, bringing athletes, coaches, officials and families together to not only compete, but to share knowledge and grow from the experience.”
The logo’s colour palette highlights the region's natural beauty with yellow and orange representing the sun-kissed beaches, and the shades of blue reflecting the Pacific Ocean that connects all the participating National Federations.
The over-arching Royal Bluebell flower is the floral emblem of the Australia Capital Territory which flowers from late October through until February. The timing of the when the flower blooms, and the deep blue colour compliments the FIBA U15 Oceania Cup which will be hosted in November with nine National Federation from the Oceania region competing.
With the logo complete, the event websites have also been launched with a dedicated website for both the men’s and women’s competitions.
"This tournament is a fantastic moment for us to connect with our neighbours and partnering nations from Oceania and we welcome this opportunity to advance the relationships and international development of basketball in the region," said Matt Scriven, Basketball Australia's - Chief Executive Officer.
The FIBA U15 Oceania Cup will be hosted by Basketball Australia at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra from November 11 to 16.
