The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Foot Locker Europe today announced an expansion of the multi-year partnership that will see the NBA and Foot Locker Europe renovate basketball courts and host youth basketball clinics and fan events across Europe. As part of Foot Locker’s ongoing basketball community partnership and program “#RaiseTheGame,” the NBA and Foot Locker will renovate and maintain two outdoor basketball courts in Paris and Rotterdam this summer.
Foot Locker will also be presenting partner of NBA 3X, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament open to male and female players aged 16-18 that will take place in Barcelona and London this summer. Dates, locations and registration information for NBA 3X will be announced in the coming months.
Since the launch of the #RaiseTheGame campaign in September 2020, Foot Locker and the NBA have refurbished outdoor basketball courts in Barcelona (Poblenou), London (Clapham Common), Milan (Via Lazio) and Paris (Jemmapes) in an effort to strengthen local communities and bring people together through the game of basketball. As part of the partnership, the NBA has hosted local community group clinics at each location and will continue to do so for years to come.
