As FIBA’s newest Global Partner, J9.COM will also use the platform to give back to the
community by promoting basketball-related activities alongside the FIBA Foundation as part of
the company’s corporate social responsibility.
Aside from these projects, part of the agreement includes J9.COM having commercial rights on
all FIBA competitions, including the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022, the FIBA
Basketball World Cup 2023, and the men and women FIBA Continental Cups.
James Chen, Managing Director of J9.COM, expressed his confidence in supporting FIBA and
providing fans with a better experience, saying, “With our innovative and digital ways, we will be
able to help FIBA bring the charm and joy of basketball to more fans across the world.”
