eVulpa and Sportsbet.io have partnered with the FIBA West Asia Super League (WASL) to ‘revolutionise’ the sports and basketball ecosystem in the West Asia region.
Sportsbet.io will have access to a multitude of features, including the presence in 12 different basketball arenas of the region, where elite clubs play each other in a home and away system for the first time in Asia.
eVulpa also remains the current exclusive commercial partner for the league as the season gets in full swing.
Alex Haig, Director of Yolo Group-owned Sportsbet.io, described FIBA WASL as one of the most exciting and fastest-growing basketball leagues in the world.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting the growth and development of basketball in the region, as well as providing our customers with a fun, fast and fair gaming experience on matches,” Haig said.
“We look forward to showcasing our brand to millions of basketball fans across West Asia and beyond.”
Sportsbet.io is currently the principal sponsor of Southampton FC and a club partner of Premier League side Newcastle.
The West Asia Super League is still in its infancy after being announced in 2022 by FIBA. The league is currently in its second season with matches taking place until June.
Featuring a total of 18 elite professional clubs hailing from 14 countries across West Asia, the Gulf region, India and Kazakhstan, the competition unfolds on a weekly basis during the WASL Sub-Zones Group Stage.
Marwan Hayek, Chairman of eVulpa, added: “We are delighted to announce our strategic partnership with Sportsbet.io and to have them as one of our prestigious partners. It is a confirmation of FIBA WASL’s tremendous potential that goes beyond the West Asia region and is a result of eVulpa’s efforts since the inception of the league.”
