Spain is known throughout the world as a country that provides great warmth and hospitality and which is extremely passionate about sport. For these reasons, it is the perfect setting to hold the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

When sporting events are held in Spain, entire cities and provinces get fully immersed and involved in them. The Spanish people see these gatherings as great opportunities to find out about other ways of life and experiencing those, while also gaining an appreciation for other cultures.
