News Summary:

The FIBA Americas Regional Office announced on September 24, 2026, the creation of a National Qualification Phase for the 2027 Youth Basketball Champions League Americas, following the inaugural edition won by Brazil’s Paulistano. Previously, on September 15, 2026, FIBA stated that the 2030 Women's World Cup in Tokyo will avoid back-to-back games, a decision influenced by the WNBA's growing impact, which saw 70 current and former players compete in Berlin and a 200% rise in merchandise sales outside the US. This followed the global partnership extension between FIBA and Swiss watchmaker Tissot on September 14, 2026, pushing their collaboration into a third decade. The renewed agreement secures Tissot's ongoing position as FIBA’s Official Timekeeper and Global Partner across an upcoming cycle that includes major events such as the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2030 in Japan and the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2031 in France, extending an 18-year relationship as Tissot became the third sponsor for FIBA's new sponsorship cycle.
