LBCI will also offer special coverage across its linear and digital channels, featuring live updates from both Beirut and Singapore, along with expert analysis from prominent regional commentators.
The Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International (LBCI) will exclusively air the FIBA Intercontinental Cup in Lebanon from September 12 to September 15, 2024.
This announcement follows a multi-year agreement between LBCI and FIBA, granting Lebanese sports fans access to FIBA’s major international and continental tournaments through 2025.
Taking place in Singapore for the second consecutive year, the FIBA Intercontinental Cup 2024 is the premier global basketball club competition, featuring teams from BCL Europe, BCL Americas, BCL Asia, NBL, BAL and the NBA G-League. This year’s tournament will see six teams, each representing a different continent, vying for the global title across nine games: Lebanon’s Al Riyadi, Spain’s Unicaja Malaga, Argentina’s Quimsa, Angola’s Petro De Luanda, Australia’s Tasmania JackJumpers and NBA G League United.
LBCI will provide comprehensive coverage of the event, both on its linear and digital channels, with live broadcasts from Beirut and Singapore, including expert analysis from regional sports commentators.
Pierre El Daher, Chairman and CEO of LBCI, said: “We are excited to collaborate with FIBA to bring our viewers a one-of-a-kind international basketball experience. Over the years, the relationship between FIBA and LBCI has contributed to support Lebanese teams both locally and internationally, and we are proud to see Lebanon represented on the global sports map today, with Al-Riyadi’s incredible path to the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. Amid the challenges, it only reflects Lebanon’s capacity to shine on the international scene, with the power of its youth.”
