The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has confirmed it will be seeking financial support offered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to help governing bodies navigate the financial crisis sparked by the coronavirus pandemic. A spokesperson for FIBA told insidethegames the organisation is in talks with the IOC about how it can access part of the $150 million (£122 million/€135 million) “aid package” set aside by the IOC to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on Summer Olympic International Federations and other bodies. FIBA has not revealed which form of relief, which could include an advance on its share of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games revenue, a loan or a donation, it is asking the IOC for. The IOC has said support will “come in different forms and will be decided after an assessment of needs and on a case-by-case basis”.

“FIBA is in constant communication with the IOC in this respect and the matter is currently in progress,” the spokesperson for FIBA told insidethegames. “Considering this is a process affecting also other IFs, we will await further announcements by the IOC.” Basketball’s worldwide governing body, among the Olympic IFs to publicly concede it is facing financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 virus, is also eligible for a loan as part of a scheme jointly established by the IOC and the Swiss Government
