Yvan Mainini, the president of the French Basketball Federation since 1992, has been unanimously elected as the 11th president of basketball’s world governing body FIBA.
Mainini, who was elected at the FIBA World Congress in Istanbul, Turkey succeeds Bob Elphinston of Australia.
“I am flattered by the overwhelming confidence the Congress has shown in me in this election,” said Mainini. “I will do everything to justify this confidence and move the sport forward at the same pace as my predecessor.
“Looking ahead, I am determined to work on a harmonised basketball calendar that gives clubs and national teams the exposure they both deserve.
“I will also further enhance FIBA’s mission to find new ways of growing the game.”
