FIBA Organizer hits Belgrade clubs

GENEVA (FIBA Organizer) - The Belgrade basketball federation with over 6000 registered players, 100 clubs and 200 games every weekend has showed great interest in the FIBA Organizer software, that offers a complete turn-key solution for the management of leagues, clubs and federations.

Upon invitation of the Belgrade Basketball Federation, FIBA’s IT Manager Wolfram Klug has introduced the product at a workshop to club managers in Belgrade. The President of the Belgrade Basketball Federation Dejan Dimitrijevic's said: "The FIBA Organizer is a very powerful tool. We hope that clubs will embrace it, as an IT backup. It will take time and a kind of support, but we are committed to investing in it.”

Also the President of the Serbian Federation, Mr. Predrag Bojic was impressed by the demonstration: "It's an interesting idea. We'll strongly support it."

The FIBA Organizer initiative was launched in November 2006 to provide SportingPulse's award-winning software, free of charge, to every organization affiliated to the International Basketball Federation. FIBA currently counts with 213 member national federations.

"FIBA Organizer is capable of connecting every basketball player in the world and the launching of its French and Spanish versions will massively increase its global reach", said FIBA Secretary General Patrick Baumann.

The FIBA Organizer software package incorporates all facets of basketball administration, such as competition management (schedules, results and standings), membership database (clubs, players, coaches and referees) and websites. In addition to improving communications between federations, associations and clubs and players, FIBA Organizer can save administrators valuable time through improved efficiencies and can help raise extra revenue by creating unique sponsorship opportunities.

The FIBA Organizer initiative represents the first time that any sport's governing body has commissioned the development of a universal management and communications system.
