FIBA PLUS takes center stage at Bulgarian Basketball Federation

SOFIA (Bulgaria) -  The FIBA PLUS Performance Program has taken center stage at the Bulgarian Basketball Federation as part of FIBA's strategic priority to Empower National Federations.  

The FIBA PLUS Performance Program assists National Federations in putting in place strategies to improve their capacity to organize, professionalize and commercialize basketball activities and thus ensure the successful development of the game in their respective countries.

President Georgi Glushkov of the Bulgarian Basketball Federation said: "We are very excited to participate in the FIBA PLUS Performance program. The engagement of our staff and stakeholders has brought unity and a better understanding of the complex work of the federation in developing and promoting basketball, and I am optimistic for the future."

FIBA has developed a tailor-made program for Bulgarian Basketball, following discussions with the federation and its external stakeholders, visiting Bulgaria and sharing information through a workshop.

During the workshop, Bulgarian Basketball defined its vision, mission statements, and values before specifying goals and developing SMART objectives. The detailed action plan for the upcoming months and years is currently being finalized with a firm commitment to start implementation early in the new year.

With a clear future focus now clearly defined and performance baselines and benchmarks also established, Bulgarian Basketball can now measure its future growth and progress.

FIBA Executive Director Europe Kamil Novak said: "We are very happy to support our National Federation members and the FIBA PLUS Performance Program, which is an important component of FIBA's strategic priority to Empower National Federations. Bulgarian Basketball has excellent traditions, and the federation will be able to take further steps by implementing this tailor-made program. We look forward to seeing what progress they will make in the near future."

FIBA will continually re-evaluate the Bulgarian Basketball Federation's strategy to ensure it remains aligned with its needs. The final step will be an assessment conducted at the end of the process to determine if the goals have been reached.
