Schelde Sports to continue to aid 3×3 development for Fiba

The International Basketball Federation (Fiba) has extended its partnership with sports equipment provider Schelde.

Schelde Sports will continue to be the official provider of backstop units for Fiba’s 3×3 events until 2020. The partnership began in March 2013 and had been due to expire next year.

“3×3 is on the rise and working with leading companies such as Schelde Sports paves the way for our Olympic aspirations,” Alex Sanchez, Fiba 3×3 director, said.

Schelde Sports’ general manager, Bart Prinssen, added: “Over the last years we have been inspired by the large ambitions of Fiba and the cosmopolitan 3×3 community around the world.

“It is our goal to continuously launch new products and features for 3×3 basketball.”
