Ford Dealer Network Renews Slam-Dunk Partnership with Basketball Australia!

Basketball Australia has officially extended its major partnership with the Ford Dealer Network, announced at a special event on the Gold Coast today! 🙌

With Boomers stars Jack White and Xavier Cooks in attendance, alongside Basketball Australia CEO Matt Scriven and Ford reps, the event highlighted a powerful commitment to growing the sport from the grassroots to the global stage. 🌱➡️🌏

“This partnership has been game-changing,” said Scriven. “Ford’s belief in Australian basketball, and especially in its role within our communities, is something we truly value. We’re thrilled to keep building this journey together.”

Cameron McLeish from the Ford Dealer Network added, “Sport brings people together—and through this partnership, we’re proud to support fans, local clubs, and our elite athletes all at once.”

🚗 Ford first joined the team in 2023, becoming a Major Partner of the Seven Consulting Opals and the Boomers. Since then, the collaboration has only grown stronger:

✅ Naming rights partner of Ford Aussie Hoops (national junior program)
✅ Extended support in 2024 to wheelchair basketball teams – the Rollers and Gliders
✅ Now backing all under-age national championship events
✅ Supporting the full development pathway – from junior ballers to Olympic & Paralympic teams

In just two years, Ford has invested $10 million into local community initiatives through this partnership, directly impacting over 200 basketball clubs and associations across Australia. 🏆

Together, Ford and Basketball Australia are driving the future of the sport – on and off the court. 💪🏽🔥
