The WKBL Futures League to be held in July will be held as an international competition for the first time by participating in four overseas teams



The WKBL (Korea Women's Basketball Federation) announced that the '2025 WKBL Futures League', which will be held at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan from July 2nd to 10th, will be held as an international exchange stage for the first time in the history of the competition.

The Futures League, which was first held in 2004, has become a stage to provide practical experience to low-age and rookie players with fewer opportunities to play and discover future stars. Only six WKBL teams have participated so far, but this year, it has expanded the size of the tournament to invite overseas teams to provide a venue for domestic players to experience various styles of basketball.

A total of 10 teams, including six WKBL clubs, will participate in this tournament. In particular, Japan's W League Future (second division) winning team Haneda Bikiz and the Japanese university selection team have confirmed their participation, and the Mongolian and Singapore women's national teams will also participate to provide new attractions.




All games will be free of charge, and the group and the list of players for each team will be announced later.
