Connor Sports surface from Gerflor Group, selected again to equip EuroBasket 2015
The Connor Sports’ brand was chosen again by FIBA for EuroBasket 2015, to be held from the 5th to the 20th of September 2015.
"The organisers have set the highest standards for this year's EuroBasket, incorporating the latest innovations and taking the competition in a number of exciting new directions. The players on the court will feel the special performance and safety features built into the portable Connor Quick Lock™ courts," explained Connor Sport Court International Vice-President Andrew Gettig.
"One of the attractive things from the last Basketball World Championships was the perfect aesthetic of the surface," said Kamil Novak, Director of FIBA Europe "It seems important to find this quality again for our European event that is EuroBasket 2015".
4 Countries, 5 cities, 5 exclusive designs!
For the first time in its history, the EuroBasket will be held in 4 countries and 5 different cities (Berlin in Germany, Zagreb in Croatia, Riga in Latvia, Montpellier and Lille in France). All the finals will take place in Lille (France).
This has given Connor Sports the opportunity to design 5 customised surfaces ! Pierre Lienhard, Director of Gerflor Sports Flooring, said he was "very proud that Connor floors will supply “EuroBasket 2015” and that all players will enjoy a premium surface, customised for each of the arenas."
