The first ever team brings together decades of experience, championship success and a shared passion for the game. As the first group to wear the GB jersey, these players will make history while helping shape the future of Masters wheelchair basketball. They will join the wider FIMBA GB Family of 14 teams in Athens competing in the running game.”
