  • Charlotte last hosted the Historically Black Division II conference's events in 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The city of Charlotte is actively working to bring back the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) basketball tournament, which it last hosted in 2006. The CIAA, the oldest historically Black athletic conference in the U.S., has been held in Baltimore since 2017, but Charlotte is making a strong push to reclaim the event. The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority (CRVA) is leading the effort, emphasizing the city's historical ties to the CIAA and its ability to host large events.

The CRVA is confident in their bid, highlighting improvements in facilities and accommodations since the tournament was last in Charlotte.
