Florida Citrus Sports is a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to increasing community spirit and pride, promoting tourism, stimulating economic development and ultimately benefiting charities, educational institutions and the quality of life in Central Florida through its signature events.

Since our first bowl game in 1947, it is estimated that Florida Citrus Sports has helped thousands of at risk youth in Central Florida through the Florida Citrus Sports Foundation MVPs programs.

Today, Florida Citrus Sports has more than 1,000 members and the organization is still growing.

Our vision is to become the bowl industry leader in generating economic and exposure impact, providing the best customer experience and to establish Orlando as the nation’s premier neutral site/venue for sports events.

The Asian Basketball Championships of North America (ABCNA) was founded in 2015 and has successfully hosted over 25 tournaments throughout the country since its inception. With National Championships, Eastern & Western Regionals, summer shootouts, Pre National Classics, and its renowned Thanksgiving Turkeyball, this highly regarded organization annually produces blocks in excess of 800 room nights, with the National Championships leading the way with about 500 nights consistently.

The ABCNA's market segment is comprised of an excellent tourism demographic, mostly from the Northeast and California. The ABCNA's largest event crowns the National Champions and features between 40-50 teams competing in numerous youth divisions, women's divisions, and multiple men's divisions, ranging from weekend warrior types to Professional level stars.

One unique aspect of this tournament is the ABCNA Pro Day, where talent scouts and agents come in a day early to evaluate prospects in a combine atmosphere. One more highlight that separates this organization from the rest is that our board is comprised of all unpaid volunteers. There is no gate fee, and any revenue generated is put back into grassroots clinics or exposure events that seek to connect their players to Professional contracts. The ABCNA last visited the Sunshine State in 2017, as the National Tournament was held in Fort Lauderdale. The ABCNA is looking forward to a successful return to Florida in upcoming years.

TAG IT TODAY!

We love our professional sports teams. And one way to show that love is to buy a specialty license plate for the team or sport of your choice.

But did you know that by buying a Florida sports license plate, you are also supporting youth and amateur athletes, as well? Through grants made possible by the sale of these license plates, young athletes are able to gain the tools and experience they need to perhaps become professional athletes one day … and amateur athletes of all ages are given the opportunity to become more well-rounded individuals.

A portion of each tag fee (between $15-$25, depending upon the specialty plate) goes either to the team’s designated youth charity, is granted by the Florida Sports Foundation to support sporting events across the state, supports the Sunshine State Games and other sports development opportunities. The additional tag fee is tax-deductible.
