LONDON, UK 21 October 2025 – Genius Sports, the official technology and innovation partner of FIBA, the world governing body, has struck a transformative new partnership with the Croatian Basketball Federation (“CBF”) to deliver groundbreaking data and AI-driven technology across its competitions.
At the heart of this partnership is GeniusIQ, Genius Sports’ revolutionary AI-powered sports data platform. Through the installation of next-gen tracking cameras in the CBF arenas, GeniusIQ will capture every movement on the court, applying powerful machine learning to deliver a suite of performance and fan engagement solutions.
GeniusIQ turns billions of data points into real-time insights, giving coaches and analysts a powerful edge. From player speed and ball movement to defensive rotations, spacing efficiency and effort zones &#8211; every movement is tracked, analysed and visualised through synchronised video and data overlays, allowing teams to break down set plays, defensive coverage and spacing patterns with pinpoint precision.
In addition, GeniusIQ will also power live streams of Croatia basketball top-tier games, making every play of every game available to fans around the world for the first time. This partnership also lays the foundation for future data-driven innovation, including augmented broadcasts which blend real-time insights such as player IDs, shot distances and scoring probabilities with live video, to create a richer, more immersive live viewing experience.
This partnership reinforces Genius Sports and FIBA’s shared commitment to equip National Federations and Leagues worldwide with cutting-edge AI technology that raises performance levels, engages new fans, and drives new revenue streams across global basketball.
Josip Jerko Vranković, Secretary General of Croatian Basketball Federation, said: “The Croatian Basketball Federation is delighted to extend its long-term partnership with Genius under this new agreement. The partnership so far has been very fruitful, and the next chapter represents a step forward for Croatian basketball. We are excited to build on this success and unlock the promising opportunities this partnership will bring, from enhancing game streaming and fan engagement to leveraging data analysis.”
Jonny Katanchian, Head of Sports and Broadcast at Genius Sports, said: “GeniusIQ is a completely unique proposition in world basketball. From one centralised AI system, leagues and federations can combine rich tracking data and live video to enhance everything from on-court performance levels to the experience fans are provided with worldwide. We’re very excited to partner with the Croatian Basketball Federation, taking their competitions to another level while extending the reach of our FIBA vision.”
Bart Prinssen, Head of Equipment and Venue Centre at FIBA, said: “This partnership between Genius Sports and the Croatian Basketball Federation perfectly illustrates FIBA’s vision of transforming global basketball through technology. By empowering National Federations with innovative data-driven solutions, we continue to elevate the game at every level.”
