FIBA and Enlio extend 3x3 court surface partnership until 2034
FIBA has today announced a multi-year extension with Enlio, a leading Chinese sports flooring supplier.
MIES (Switzerland) - FIBA has today announced a multi-year extension with Enlio, a leading Chinese sports flooring supplier, who will continue to provide world-class court surfaces for the FIBA 3x3 World Tour and the FIBA 3x3 World Cup until 2034.
The announcement follows an unprecedented turnout for 3x3 basketball at Paris 2024, where Enlio supplied the court for the sold-out venue in Place de la Concorde.
The ten-year partnership extension underlines the successful collaboration between FIBA and Enlio. Enlio will continue to deliver state-of-the-art flooring that helps players deliver gold medal performances while providing excellent support and protection for their bodies.
“Extending our partnership with Enlio for a further ten years is a sign of the strength of our successful relationship,” said FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis. “FIBA and Enlio share many values, but most importantly, we share an player-first approach. We are therefore excited to continue working with Enlio to create an optimal competition environment as we strive to take our sport to even greater heights.”
"We are very excited to extend our partnership with FIBA until 2034," said CEO Enlio Sports Li Yu. "We are proud that our surface was chosen for 3x3 basketball at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, supporting FIBA in setting new standards for the most thrilling urban sport. We look forward to introducing innovations and providing players with the ultimate experience as they begin their journey with the 3x3 World Cup in 2025."
Enlio debuted its innovative, eco-friendly flooring at the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup in Singapore this March. Crafted from recycled thermoplastic elastomer tiles, this sustainable court replaced the traditional synthetic rubber surface, in line with FIBA's commitment to environmental responsibility and minimizing its ecological footprint.
