The Mayor's London Basketball Taskforce

3 weeks ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom London Gov Full time

The Mayor of London is spearheading a groundbreaking initiative to grow the game of basketball in the capital.

Building on the sport's rising popularity, the Mayor is launching a dedicated Basketball Taskforce to elevate the sport's profile, secure major events, and create positive opportunities for young people across London.

Key objectives

The Basketball Taskforce will bring together experts from sport, business, culture, and government to deliver on several key objectives:

  • Grow London's basketball scene
    We are focused on developing pathways for emerging talent, enhancing local infrastructure, and promoting the sport's influence beyond the court—including its impact on fashion, lifestyle, and culture.
  • Attract major basketball events
    We aim to secure world-class basketball events, including NBA games, FIBA competitions, and 3x3 Basketball. We'll also identify emerging opportunities to host new and exciting basketball experiences in the city.
  • Create positive youth opportunities
    By developing grassroots programs, we hope to not only promote basketball but also support youth safety, employability, and overall wellbeing.
Aims

As part of the Mayor's commitment to expanding the reach of basketball, Sadiq Khan has pledged to attract more NBA games and activations to the city. Following discussions with NBA Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Mark Tatum, this taskforce will lead the charge in making London a global hub for basketball.

With over 1.5 million people playing basketball weekly across the UK, the sport has rapidly grown to become the country's second most popular team sport. This taskforce aims to build on that momentum by:

  • boosting access to basketball across London
  • attracting high-profile events such as live NBA games and FIBA tournaments
  • developing pathways for local talent
  • engaging young people through the sport.

Join us in expanding basketball in London and creating positive opportunities for young people through sport.

We are seeking passionate individuals to join the taskforce and help shape the future of basketball in London.

If you have expertise in any of the following areas, we would love to hear from you:

  • youth engagement and social impact
  • arts, culture and fashion
  • facilities and infrastructure development
  • commercial and sponsorship
  • public policy and local authorities.
