The International Basketball Federation (Fiba) has approved the use of LED glass courts in elite-level tournaments, allowing new broadcast experiences and sponsorships activations.
The surface can be used in any number of competitions from October 1, 2022.
Previously, tier-one events such as the Fiba Basketball World Cup were mandated to utilize wooden floors for safety and to safeguard the competition's credibility.
The governing body is now persuaded, however, that advancements in glass floor technology now satisfy the standards needed for its most high-profile contests.
Fiba presently permits two types of glass floors, both manufactured by the German company ASB.
The ASB MultiSports floor has LED marking lines under it, but the ASB LumiFlex floor has a full video floor that allows for interactive training applications and increased show staging, as well as extra advertising choices.
The flooring also allows for player monitoring, displaying accomplishments, and data that improve the viewing experience both in the arena and on the broadcast.
ASB claims that its flooring has the best level of shock absorption and flexibility to reduce strain on player joints and provides the rebound value that sports like basketball require.
