LATVIAAA - Pasaules kauss basketbolā 2023

The book "LATVIAAA" is a visual story captured by Mikus Kļaviņš, the official photographer of the Latvian national team. It depicts the success of the Latvian men's basketball team in the 2023 FIBA ​​Basketball World Cup. The journey from Riga to Indonesia and the Philippines unfolds in unique shots from the team's daily life, practices, games and historic victories.

Photos captured by Mikus have the power to fire up my emotions that represent the unforgettable path of a team – a real squad, made up of personalities capable of sharing sacrifices, responsibilities, joy and disappointments, united by a very strong desire to make their country, their families and the amazing fans proud of our efforts. This book has made our memories eternal and I am sure that there will be more to follow and to be made together. There will always be a piece of each of you in me. Mūsu zeme – Latvija!
