CLEVELAND — The NCAA has unveiled the 2024 Women's Final Four Logo for when Cleveland plays host to the annual tournament.
The 2024 Final Four will begin on Friday, April 5, with two semifinal games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, followed by the championship game on Sunday, April 7.
“Cleveland has proven to be a great host city for the Women’s Final Four as well as many other NCAA championships over the years and we look forward to returning to the city in 2024,” said Lynn Holzman, NCAA vice president of women’s basketball. “Thanks to our hosts, the Mid-American Conference and Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, for all the work they have done to date and for their commitment to continue to build a memorable experience for all involved.”
The event, which is being hosted by the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission and the Mid-Atlantic Conference is expected to drive in an estimated $22 million of economic impact to the city of Cleveland.
“We’re excited to unveil the 2024 NCAA Women’s Final Four brand marks to the community, a moment that officially tips off Cleveland’s hosting of this premiere event,” said David Gilbert, president and CEO of Greater Cleveland Sports Commission. “Our team has been hard at work alongside our partners at Mid-American Conference and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse to welcome this major event that will provide an estimated $22 million in economic impact to The Land.”
The logo features many of Cleveland landmarks including the logo being a guitar pick-shaped badge that pays homage to the rock and roll capital as well as blue coloring representing Lake Erie.
2024 will mark the second year in which Cleveland hosted the NCAA Women's Final Four. In 2007, Cleveland played host as the Pat Summit led Tennessee to claim its seventh national championship.
“As the popularity of women’s hoops continues to surge, it is a tremendous honor to host the top intercollegiate women’s basketball teams in the country at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse,” said Nic Barlage, Cleveland Cavaliers, Rock Entertainment Group and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse CEO. “Not only will this draw basketball fans from across the country to Cleveland, but it will also capture the interest of fans from across the globe as millions tune in to catch the action from home. We couldn’t be more proud to help showcase these incredible athletes at the top of their game and to shine a spotlight on the athletic excellence of female athletes around the world.”
