Fiba ‘monitoring’ dispute tearing British basketball apart
World governing body Fiba says it is “monitoring developments” in British basketball amid the civil war threatening the future of both the BBF and SLB.
Super League Basketball has begun legal action against the British Basketball Federation over the removal of SLB’s licence to run the domestic top flight and what it sees as anti-competitive practices by national governing body the BBF.
Fiba, of which the BBF is a member, has previously intervened in disputes between national organisations but is currently maintaining a watching brief on the British game.
A spokesperson told City AM: “Fiba is aware of the situation and, as this is a domestic matter, will continue to monitor developments.
“Consequently, Fiba will not make any further comments at this time.”
It banned Japan from international basketball in 2014 until it resolved a split in its domestic game and earlier this year said it had “served as a facilitator” in ending a 22-month-long disagreement between the Brazilian Basketball Confederation and the Brazilian National League.
Fiba yet to intervene in BBF and SLB row
Fiba has so far chosen not to get involved in Britain despite the bitter dispute posing an existential threat to both the BBF and SLB. City AM has posed further questions to the world governing body.
