29 August 2013


FIBA Headquarters in Mies, Switzerland

LAUSANNE The FISU World University Championships Department held a work meeting at FIBA – International Basketball Federation, at the new House of Basketball, the FIBA headquarters in Mies (Switzerland).

This work session was attended by WUC Director Paulo Ferreira and Executive Assistant Julien Buhajezuk from FISU’s side, and by Kosta Iliev, FIBA 3×3 Basketball Sports Director and also FISU Technical Delegate for 3×3 Basketball.

This meeting was an opportunity to set out the framework for the coming months that will include the preparations for the 2nd World University 3×3 Basketball Championships that will take place in Salvador (Brazil) next year. Collaboration between the two Departments was reviewed, encompassing future strategies for events, technical specificities and innovation in the sport and joint-events – all fields mentioned in a partnership agreement being prepared between both parties.

Further work will take place during the inspection visit in Brazil mid-September, where a tentative date will be set for partnership agreement to be signed.
