The design concept of the game ball is "The Passions Wave." The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 will be the first World Cup to be jointly hosted by three countries (Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia), and it will make people passionate and excited about basketball, bringing them even closer together. The passion for basketball that forms a heartbeat and spreads around the world like a wave is expressed through the heart and wave elements of the design. Also, gold is used as part of the elements, further enhancing the design of the game ball.
