The Vakıflar Wheelchair Basketball Team achieved a significant success with two young players in the Turkish National Youth Team. Vedat Küçükyılmaz and Abdülkerim Gökpur represented our country at the IWBF Under-23 Wheelchair World Basketball Championship held in São Paulo, Brazil between June 13-21, 2025.

Our team faced Israel, Canada, Germany and the host Brazil in the tournament. They started the tournament by facing Israel in the "Centro de Treinamento Paralímpico Brasileiro" in their first match.

Our U23 Wheelchair Basketball National Team achieved a great success by winning the silver medal at the World Championship. This success once again demonstrated our team's talents and determination in the international arena.

We would like to thank all our athletes and technical team for this historic success and wish them success in future tournaments.
