MIES (Switzerland) - FIBA and FISU (International University Sports Federation) on Tuesday renewed their collaboration convention for another four years, until 2023.
FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis welcomed FISU President Oleg Matytsin at the House of Basketball where the pair signed the agreement that will see the two international federations work closely together to continue having basketball be an integral part of the Summer Universiade.

Also known as the World University Games, the Universiade is the second largest multi-sport event behind the Olympic Games.
FISU also organizes - in collaboration with FIBA - an annual 12-team event called the 3x3 FISU World University League, with the winner earning a FIBA 3x3 World Tour berth.
