FIBA, the International Basketball Federation, and Airbnb, the world’s leading community-driven hospitality company, are teaming up in an innovative partnership to allow fans to benefit from Airbnb’s wide range of accommodations and to cater to fans’ and players’ diverse travel needs.

Starting this month, Airbnb will be the exclusive official accommodations provider for FIBA, and FIBA will promote Airbnb’s offerings to fans and players alike.

In addition, FIBA will host a sweepstakes on the EuroBasket 2015 event website offering one winner and a guest the opportunity to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime experience during the tournament’s Final Phase. The grand prize winner will receive a trip for two for the final days of the competition in Lille, France which includes an exclusive invitation to the 2015 FIBA Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony, a special meet & greet opportunity with a basketball legend, VIP tickets to the EuroBasket final game, a VIP stadium tour, dinner for two (2) and an accommodation near the arena provided by Airbnb (18-21 September). Fans can enter the sweepstakes by visiting http://fiba.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7033084a6897e1c399b667eb5&id=776aa31bbb&e=2aaa03a3ad. The sweepstakes ends on 13 September at 23:59:59 CET (GMT +2).

EuroBasket 2015 sees Europe’s biggest basketball competition take place for the first time ever in four (4) countries with Group Phase games played in Berlin, Germany; Montpellier, France; Riga, Latvia; and Zagreb, Croatia from 5-10 September. The Final Phase takes centre stage in Lille from 12-20 September. With an estimated 400,000 spectators going to the event, Airbnb is helping in welcoming basketball fans from around the world into affordable listings available throughout the host cities in Europe.

FIBA Secretary General and International Olympic Committee (IOC) Member Patrick Baumann said: "Working together with Airbnb will help us offer basketball fans affordable accommodations during the EuroBasket 2015 games and other events this year."

Airbnb Head of Global Payments and Head of Business Development Lex Bayer said: "We know FIBA is loved by the basketball community around the world, and we’re excited to have Airbnb hosts connect with basketball fans and players. Knowing the FIBA community has diverse travel needs, Airbnb’s array of accommodations will be able to provide them with a local experience as they cheer on their favourite teams at EuroBasket 2015."
