At the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, which will be held in August 2023 in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan (Okinawa), we launched a project for children, “DREAM BIG OKINAWA.”
DREAM BIG OKINAWA’s mission is to create opportunities for people to dream big through the World Cup, and we will provide children in Okinawa with the opportunity to meet new worlds from a variety of perspectives. In the future, DREAM BIG OKINAWA will develop multiple programs within Okinawa Prefecture and aim to build a legacy of the Games.
