4. WELCOME TO COPENHAGEN
INVITATIONAL
It is a great pleasure for me as president of
Værløse Basketball Club to welcome you all
to for three days filled with top level bas-
ketball.
We are proud to say that this is the first
tournament here in Denmark that has
been approved by FIBA Europe. This is the
eight year running we host the tourna-
ment, highlighting basketball at an interna-
tional level right here in our own communi-
ty.
I would like thank all of our sponsors for
your great support. Without you this event
would not have been possible. We can feel
a great increase in support this year. We
are proud to be linked with both local and
national based companies. A big thank you
to both the municipality of Furesø and
Rudersdal, as well as Skjold Birkerød Bas-
ketball for providing great facilities for this
huge event.
I would also like to say thank you to all the
volunteers for your invaluable contribu-
tion. Without you, there would be no Co-
penhagen Invita-
tional.
Welcome to all!
Kim Mikkelsen

5. VELKOMMEN
Det er mig en ære at byde velkommen
på vegne af Rudersdal Kommune til alle
de mange aktive og frivillige i årets Co-
penhagen Invitational Basketball.
Vi glæder os til at se de mange internati-
onale talenter folde sig ud i vores haller
og repræsentere deres sport. Basketball
er en stor sport i de fleste af landene
omkring os og er som pengesport kun
overgået af fodbold i hele Europa. Derfor
er det imponerende, at det er lykkedes
for syvende år i træk at få hele den spi-
rende internationale elite hertil. Potenti-
alet til et gennembrud for sporten her-
hjemme er der, med unge danske spille-
re i flere ligaer rundt i verden – og det er
interessen for Copenhagen Invitational
Basketball også et tegn på. Fra store dele
af verden er øjnene nu rettet her til for
at se, hvem der bliver morgendagens
stjerner.
Her i kommunen sætter vi stor pris på
det enorme frivillige arbejde, der ligger
bag turneringen fra de to klubber, Birke-
rød Basketball Klub og Værløse Basket-
ball Klub. 200 frivillige har i månedsvis
knoklet og orkestreret denne turnering
på plads. Det fortjener al mulig respekt
og påskønnelse, for det er arrangemen-
ter af denne type, der gør vores lokal-
samfund levende og inspirerende for
vores børn og unge og sætter vores byer
på landkortet.
Jeg ønsker alle medvirkende en god tur-
nering
Jens Ive
Borgmester i Rudersdal Kommune
