Basketball England (BE, formally England Basketball)[2] is the governing body of the sport of basketball for England including 3x3 basketball. The organisation operates the English Basketball League for both men and women, as well as the England national team. The organisation was also involved in the establishment of the Great Britain team in December 2005, along with its compatriots – Basketball Scotland and Basketball Wales.
