Disney World will now host all AAU Boy’s Basketball World Championships
The nation’s most elite high school basketball talent will be on display at Walt Disney World Resort this summer as ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex will host all AAU Boys’ Basketball World Championships in 2024.
After previously hosting several AAU championship events at Disney World with the rest spread throughout the country, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex will become home to all 24 AAU boys’ basketball D1 and D2 national title events for ages 7U/1st grade – 19U/12th grade in 2024.
The boys’ championship events at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex will take place July 4-11, 2024, joining the AAU Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Memorial Day Classic, May 25-27, 2024, which are also played at Disney.
“The elite talent, passion and excitement of AAU championships make these events a ‘must-see’ for basketball fans and help reaffirm ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex as the nation’s premier venue for youth athletes,” said ESPN Wide World of Sports Vice President Adam Ball.
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex has been the epicenter of AAU basketball since the complex first opened in 1997. “The AAU has had an incredible relationship with Walt Disney World for nearly 30 years, and we’re eager to continue that relationship well into the future,” said AAU president Jo Mirza. “With Disney’s world-class service and facilities, there’s no better place than ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex for amateur athletes to feel like professionals and create lifetime memories.”
