FIBA Global Suppliers, Schelde Sports, and Unilumin Sports have embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration that introduces an integrated LED screen within the backstop for the very first time.
The spotlight shines on the Super SAM 325 PRO LED product at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, offering FIBA Global Partners an exceptional opportunity to showcase their brands to millions of fans worldwide throughout this prestigious event.
The debut of the Super SAM 325 PRO LED stands as a testament to FIBA’s unswerving commitment to technological advancement and innovation.
This innovative backstop design underscores the synergistic effort between two FIBA Global Suppliers, manifesting the tangible benefits that working alongside FIBA can yield.
Elevating the global standard of excellence, the Super SAM 325 PRO, crafted by the creators of the original SAM (Spring Assisted Mechanism) and DSF (Dynamic Sub Frame) backstop units, features distinctive diamond-shaped safety padding. With the inclusion of the Pro-Action 180-degree multi-directional breakaway ring, the Super SAM 325 PRO stands as a pinnacle model, boasting FIBA Level 1 and 2 certification.
Olivier Esteves, CEO of Schelde Sports, which is an integral part of the ABEO Group, commented: “Schelde Sports shares a mutual aspiration with FIBA in nurturing and popularizing basketball globally. Hence, we are exceedingly proud to introduce the innovative Super SAM 325 PRO LED at an eminent event like the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
“The integration of LED technology into conventional equipment is a current focal point. Consequently, we are thrilled that this novel innovation is the outcome of a robust partnership between FIBA and Schelde Sports.”
James Li, Vice President of Unilumin, remarked: “Since becoming FIBA’s official LED partner in 2019, Unilumin has consistently spearheaded transformative display solutions, enriching the spectator experience. This fusion of world-class basketball with our latest cutting-edge technology, the Backstop Unit Screens, reflects the unwavering dedication of both Unilumin and FIBA to delivering a world-class spectacle to a global audience.”

Thus, it’s particularly gratifying when two of them, such as Schelde Sports and Unilumin Sports, unite to innovate and bring forth an extraordinary product.
