Born from grit, talent and a refusal to sit on the sidelines, the WNBL has always been more than a league. Founded in 1981 (16 years before the WNBA), the WNBL is a proving ground for greatness, with over 60 Olympians and more than 20 players drafted to the WNBA.
From local courts to national arenas, Ford Dealers have long been one of basketball’s biggest supporters - partnering with more than 200 associations nationwide and helping families get to games week after week.
With both Ford and the WNBL focused on growing participation and elevating the sport’s next generation, WNBL CEO Jennie Sager says she’s thrilled to see Ford continue their support for women’s basketball.
