SUPPORTING NATIONAL FEDERATIONS
Since 2004, FIBA has worked closely in partnership with Genius Sports to develop ground-breaking technology to support the development and operations of National Federations and Leagues around the world.
This partnership has provided FIBA’s 212 members across 150 countries worldwide with essential solutions such as FIBA LiveStats and FIBA Organizer to capture, manage, and distribute live statistics and drive digital transformation.
Together, FIBA and Genius Sports take on the responsibility of continually innovating and responding to technology changes to ensure that the solutions made available to FIBA members reflect the ever-changing digital landscape.
BENEFITS OF EXTENDED PARTNERSHIP
Announced in July 2019 and in effect as of January 1, 2020, FIBA and Genius Sports agreed on a long-term renewal of this historic partnership.
Rather than each FIBA member incurring the individual costs of developing or acquiring its own software, FIBA and Genius Sports will provide the following solutions at no cost.
At the start of 2025, FIBA expanded its long-term partnership with Genius Sports to deliver its revolutionary computer vision technology and AI-powered capabilities globally. The strategic partnership will run through until 2035.

The entire FIBA family can benefit from a host of Premium Solutions and services to maximize the value and global reach of live data and video content.
