Thanks to an early release of tickets today, West Midlanders can apply for tickets for Birmingham 2022 - when Team's England 3x3 basketball mission will be one of the main attractions.
The renovated basketball court, in Summerfield Park in the Ladywood area of the city, has been designed by local graffiti artist Zuke and Team England basketball player Kofi Josephs and is supported by Basketball England.
It has been brought to life with a specially designed bespoke paint job to inspire participation in the sport and symbolise the legacy that will be left by the Games.
The West Midlands ballot will be followed in September by the main ballot, when the majority of tickets will be available and which will be open to all.

Basketball England’s #ProjectSwish campaign is designed to help individuals, clubs and organisations bring local outdoor courts to life.
Whether it is distributing free nets or providing guidance and support for larger-scale art-court projects, BE has been helping communities create and renovate great places to play via #ProjectSwish for three years.
Get involved by requesting free nets for your court or check out our renovation guide to start your own community revamp project. You can also buy a limited edition #ProjectSwish Wilson ball - all profits go towards the regeneration of outdoor courts.
