History

Eurobasket is the most known website about international basketball coverage. Originally it was established in 1995 as Euroster.com in Canada by Marek Wojtera (Polish immigrant, former basketball player and a computer programmer) and 2 years later it changed its name to Eurobasket.com. In 2010, it was incorporated into Hong Kong based web programming company Sports I.T. Solutions.[1]

Overview

The news content is provided by its full-time staff and over 100 correspondents located around the world. Eurobasket is known as the source of most complete basketball coverage and data collection about basketball. The site also hosts a database of over 900,000 coaches and players both active or retired around the world, with some of that content being accessible only through subscription.

Summer league

Eurobasket.com also operates the Eurobasket Summer League, which are annual three day tournaments in the United States that visit in five host cities (Las Vegas, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, New York/New Jersey) in addition to the NCAA Women's Final Four. Their aim is to help unsigned free agents find professional clubs overseas and to that end, 767 former Eurobasket Summer League players were active on professional rosters in 67 different countries in 2019/20 season. The events, cater to both men and women, have hosted players from lesser known backgrounds (NCAA Division III colleges for example) to enable them to gain more exposure with games broadcast live on YouTube which has received over 125,000 views since 2018.
