Over the past 12 months, members of Myths and Legends and the Australian Masters Basketball Association (AMBA), have been working directly with the Federation of International Basketball (FIBA) in Geneva.  FIBA is the world governing body for basketball, is an independent association formed by 213 National federations of basketball throughout the world (including Basketball Australia).  The focus of our efforts has been to help FIBA develop a global masters basketball tournament.

We are delighted to announce that the first-ever FIBA World Masters Open will take place from July 4 to 12, 2026, in Corinth and Loutraki in Greece.  This region is known as Western Attica and is approximately 1.5 hours west of Athens, the capital city of Greece. 

The following Myths members were awarded a Life Membership at the Myths Dinner, held during the Australian Masters Games in Canberra.
