Frenchman Yvan Mainini has been nominated as the next president of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).
Mainini defeated outgoing FIBA Europe president George Vassilakopoulos by earning 31 of 51 votes at the organisation’s general assembly in Germany over the weekend.
Current FIBA president Bob Elphinston of Australia, whose term expires this year, must be replaced by a representative from Europe.
"It's a fantastic result because I have dedicated all my life to basketball and I hope that basketball will be better and better," said Mainini after the vote.
Mainini was a member of the FIBA Europe board for the 2006-2010 term and currently serves as president of the French Basketball Federation.
His election as president of FIBA is contingent on a vote at the FIBA World Congress in September.
