The Cairns Taipans have scored a two-year sponsorship extension from Cairns Regional Council.
Council has been a proud sponsor of the Taipans since 2010, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to basketball in the region.
As the only national sporting team representing Cairns, the Taipans hold a special place in the hearts of locals, especially home games at the Cairns Convention Centre.
Mayor Amy Eden said the Taipans were an iconic sporting team.
"This sponsorship is a slam dunk for the Taipans and the Cairns community,” she said.
“The Taipans are more than just a basketball team; they are part of the fabric of Cairns.”
“Their presence energises our economy, gives the region a national platform and motivates the next generation of local sports stars."
“We hope to see the Orange Army out in force again when the Taipans hit the court for 2024-25 season!”
Cairns Taipans CEO Mark Beecroft said the sponsorship helped the club continue to inspire our fans, drive economic growth, and nurture local talent.
“Together, we're not just playing the game; we're shaping the future of Cairns,” he said.
