Japan earned hosting duties for the 2030 Women's World Cup, bringing the women's game to Asia and expanding the global reach of FIBA basketball. It's a significant opportunity for the women's tournament to capture attention across the region and grow the sport internationally.
These two tournaments represent major commitments from the FIBA Central Board to spread basketball across the world's biggest stages. With France set for 2031 and Japan ready for 2030, the next decade of international hoops is already taking shape.
