EuroLeague Basketball and Endesa are launching the Street Arena Tour. Four cities in Spain and Germany will host a basketball experience that will include a 3×3 tournament, technical drills, video games, and other fun events.
Per EuroLeague Basketball:
Euroleague Basketball and Endesa are pleased to unveil the Street Arena Tour in some of the most important cities in Spain and Germany. With the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs and the 7DAYS EuroCup Finals right around the corner and the courts across Europe starting to heat up, Endesa and Euroleague Basketball want their fans to celebrate this moment of the season with a complete basketball experience.
In their second season of partnership together, Endesa and Euroleague Basketball are tightening their relationship with the Street Arena Tour, with Endesa as the main sponsor. Endesa continues support basketball with this innovative project, a travelling Fan Zone that will stop in five different cities.
Following Euroleague Basketball’s strategy of providing its partners with extra-value activations that directly engage basketball fans through cool and unique experiences, Endesa has partnered with Euroleague Basketball to bring basketball closer to fans across Spain and Germany.
For four consecutive weekends, the Street Arena Tour will visit Valencia, Malaga, Madrid, and Barcelona to build up momentum among fans for the Final Four in May in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Then the tour will touch down in Munich, Germany on the last weekend in April. On top of it all, everyone who visits the event will have a chance to get amazing prizes provided by Endesa.
The Street Arena Tour will make its first stop at Valencia, where all “taronja” and basketball fans will have the chance to enjoy this basketball experience at the state-of-the-art Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, one of the main tourist attractions of the Mediterranean city, and located very close to Valencia Basket’s arena, Pabellon Fuente de San Luis. Valencia Basket fans will be able to celebrate their team’s qualification to the 2019 7DAYS EuroCup Finals, which will be played between April 9 and 15.
The epicenter of the Street Arena Tour will be the 3×3 tournament being held all weekend, where all fans will play to win and earn prizes. The event will also have an area with technical drills. Fans will have the chance to show their ability in a vertical jump and skills test plus show off their ball skills with “The Lazer 9000”. Fans entering “The Truck” will have the chance to challenge each other playing video games or Endesa’s prizes roulette. They may also take pictures with the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague trophy – the same one that will be handed to the champions next May – in an environment simulating a real locker room.
The Graffiti Wall will bring the urban art perspective to the event, with David de Limón, the famous artist and Graffiti painter from Valencia, painting and creating the Graffiti Wall during the event.
All these activities will happen while DJ Vitobeatz enlivens the event with his rhythm and flow.
Valencia Basket will also have an important role at the Street Arena Tour of Valencia with the presence of PAM, the official mascot of the team, while photo call allows fans to take pictures with the club’s 7DAYS EuroCup championship trophies from 2003, 2010 and 2014.
