History
Foundation (1947)
The Dutch Basketball Association (Шаблон:Lang-nl, NBB) was founded on 15 July 1947. After World War II in which the Dutch were conquered by the Nazis it began a priority to build governing bodies for their national sports. Even much so that the Netherlands started a basketball federation before basketball power United States. Which didn't establish their own federation until the 1970s.
Early years (1947–1961)
At the beginning, the NBB started with less than a thousand members and 120 teams from Amsterdam, Haarlem and Rotterdam joined. Basketball was a sport that wasn't practiced all over the country, but especially in Amsterdam. It is logical, therefore, that the NBB derives from the Amsterdam Basketball Federation, founded in 1945.
Dutch Basketball Success (1962–1991)
During the time period from 1962 to 1991 basketball saw huge growth in the Netherlands. Partially due to the success of the Dutch national team, which made ten European Championship appearances in that span.
Also during this time was the foundation and beginnings of the Dutch Basketball League (DBL). Which received tons of fan support.[3]
Regression (1991–2012)
During the time period from 1991 to 2012 the national team took a deep decline, and failed to qualify for the European Championship.
In June 2019, the organisation rebranded to Basketball Nederland.[4]
