On behalf of the President of Gniezno and TS Basket Gniezno I would like to invite you to take part in the 10th International Basketball Tournament Gniezno 2012 for girls and boys. The competition takes place every year in Gniezno, the first capital city of Poland, a city with 70 000 citizen, located in the western part of Poland.
