Wilson Sporting Goods and the International Basketball Federation (Fiba) have extended their partnership for three-on-three (3×3) basketball through 2028, covering the next three Summer Olympic Games. Wilson will be supplying official game balls for all official 3x3 competitions. This includes the Olympics, as the sport will become one of the events in 2020. The basketball variant has reportedly become the world's most popular urban sport, with millions of followers on social media. The official ball has resulted from a collaboration between Wilson Labs and Fiba 3×3. It is designed to enhance shooting, ball handling and grip for all players, regardless of their size or skill. A special edition for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be released later this year. Wilson and Fiba signed their original contract in 2015.
