The four year cooperation between the Swedish Basketball Federation (SBBF) and Solidsport is today proceeding to the next level. Today, SBBF proudly presents their own customized and branded OTT sport platform Basket TV, powered by their long-term partner Solidsport.  

Basket TV gives us the opportunity to create our own digital arena, customised for our basketball community.

 

– We've achieved great results when it comes to digitizing and enabling our sport at all levels, together with all our clubs, teams and organizers that have made this possible and together with Solidsport that provided us with an innovative platform and the right tools to succeed. Basket TV now gives us the opportunity to continue on this path under our own brand and create our own digital arena, customised for our basketball community, says Fredrik Joulamo, Secretary General of the Swedish Basketball Federation.
