Overview
The FIBA Communications Department serves the needs and provides information to anyone interested in basketball and the activities of the International Basketball Federation.

This includes the professional basketball experts such as the FIBA membership as well as the written press and anybody else who is actively involved in the business. But furthermore, it reaches out to the big fan base of basketball.

Especially with fiba.com, we would like to cover the complete basketball world, from national leagues in all five continents to top FIBA competitions such as the FIBA World Championships and the Olympic Basketball tournaments.

Our mission is to become the No 1 basketball portal in the world, a place where you can find everything about the sport. Our portfolio includes event websites from FIBA competitions and FIBA Zone competitions, but also other specific FIBA satellite sites such as the FIBA Hall of Fame website and a media site with a specific tool kit for the mass media.

Although we have our traffic peaks during our events, the goal of fiba.com is to report on basketball activities from all around the world in a year-around basis.

The Department also oversees the production and editing of all FIBA publications such as the FIBA Assist newsletter and the FIBA Assist magazine. Special editions such as the "Dream Games" brochure and the "The Year of Basketball" trilogy in 2006 are produced in-house.

At FIBA events, we assist the Local Organizing Committees in all operational aspects and we make sure that the press services are dealt witch according to FIBA standards.

We work hand in hand with the FIBA Marketing Department and we make sure that the FIBA brand is properly promoted. That includes the promotion of our events in cooperation with the Local Organizing Committees, but also the brand management and the correct application of our identity.
