Open Participation Event at the Munich Sports Festival 2025
Under the motto “Inclusion through Movement,” the RBB Iguanas invited all interested individuals and long-time fans of the “greatest sport in the world” to experience and try out wheelchair basketball up close — right in the heart of Munich, at Königsplatz, on July 6, 2025.
A Huge Success – Over 100 Participants and a Powerful Statement for Inclusion in Action!
The event was filled with a vibrant festival atmosphere throughout the day: people of all ages – with and without disabilities – came together, gave wheelchair basketball a try, competed in small 3×3 tournaments, or simply enjoyed the lively spirit of the day. With more than 100 participants, the action was a true highlight of the Munich Sports Festival.
Our goal of making inclusion in sports visible and tangible truly came to life. It was a space of connection, openness, and mutual inspiration.
What Was Happening On-Site:
- Open wheelchair basketball court (no registration required)
- Supervision and guidance by experienced players
- Mini-tournaments for kids and adults
- DJ, interviews & live content
- Interactive activities focused on inclusion
- Plenty of encounters, new perspectives, and joyful energy
