Sportsbook operator Delasports has stepped up to partner with the Balakan International Basketball League (BIBL) for the upcoming 2020 season. The multi-year deal will see Delasports retain the naming rights for the league.

Founded in 2008, the BIBL has grown in popularity to include sides from across the Balkan Peninsula. The round-robin format includes teams from Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Albania.

The league recently expanded the competition to include 12 teams from Israel, to expand the BIBL to 18 teams in its 13th season.

The Delasports sponsorship announcement was welcomed across competition after the delayed start to the 2020/21 season.
