With the Great Britain national teams recently securing a place in the London 2012 Olympic Games, the men's and women's teams will play their USA Basketball counterparts in two friendly games at the 18,100 seat Manchester Evening News Arena (MEN) in July 2012 prior to the Olympic tournament. The game featuring the men's national teams will be part of the Global Community Cup, which includes all USA Basketball men's national team exhibition games played outside of formal international competitions. "I cannot think of a more exciting prospect for fans in the UK than to see Great Britain play the USA Basketball men's national team in Manchester in the lead up to the 2012 Olympics," said Standard Life GB star and Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng. "The USA--Great Britain games in Manchester will be a terrific prelude to London in 2012," said USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo. "The games are key components of the training plan for the 2012 USA Basketball men's and women's national teams. I'm sure that both USA teams will feature some of basketball's best players and coaches, and I'm confident the games will be memorable events for all basketball fans." The Great Britain national teams have made significant strides in recent years with GB men qualifying for two consecutive Eurobasket tournaments (2009 and 2011) and GB women qualifying for Eurobasket 2011 for the first time in team history. Deng and former NBA player Pops Mensah-Bonsu highlight the men's roster with Joe Leedham leading GB Women. The USA Basketball men's and women's national squads - from which the current Olympic and World championship teams were selected - include NBA All-Stars Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and LeBron James, and WNBA standouts Sue Bird, Angel McCoughtry and Diana Taurasi. The City of Manchester will host a series of premier basketball events in the coming years as part of a recently announced multiyear partnership between Manchester City Council, the NBA and USA Basketball. The first game of this new partnership will see GB women play host to the Atlanta Dream of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) at the MEN on May 29 as part of WNBA Live -- Manchester 2011. Fans that purchase tickets and attend WNBA Live -- Manchester 2011 will be given limited priority access to buy tickets for the games featuring the GB and USA Basketball men's and women's national teams.
