Fonbet Friendship Cup will be held in the UDS «Molot» from August 21 to 25. The national men's basketball teams from Russia, Venezuela and Colombia will compete for the trophy. The fourth participant in the tournament will be BC «PARMA», which will compete outside the standings. The tournament will be held with the support of the title partner of the Russian Basketball Federation — the bookmaker company Fonbet.
The competition will be held in two stages. First, the teams will play each other in a round-robin format — these matches will take place on August 21, 22 and 23. The finalists of the tournament will be determined based on the points scored. The games for 3rd place and the final will take place on August 25.
The tournament will also feature a number of special events from the DobroFon charity program. All funds raised will be donated to one of the Perm charity funds chosen by the competition organizers. Thus, every fan who comes to the Fonbet Friendship Cup matches will be able to contribute to the implementation of socially significant projects in the region.
«For us, the partnership with the Russian Basketball Federation is strategically important and significant. This is a very popular sport that Russians love. And the Russian Basketball Federation does a great job of promoting and popularizing it. We are happy to help them with this. The tournament with the involvement of strong foreign opponents will undoubtedly attract the attention of the sports community and fans. It is especially worth noting the very bright and necessary social project of the federation — «quiet! basketball», which helps to create conditions for the game for people with disabilities and various nosologies,» says Valentin Golovanov, Managing Partner of Fonbet.
«Fonbet is one of the key partners of the Russian Basketball Federation, cooperation with which allows us to hold significant tournaments at a high level, as well as develop important social projects. One of them is the «quiet! basketball» project, thanks to which the best game with a ball becomes available to people with disabilities, making their lives more fulfilling. I thank Fonbet for the opportunity to implement significant initiatives and for significant assistance in the development of basketball throughout the country,» said the President of the Russian Basketball Federation Andrei Kirilenko.
One of the significant aspects of cooperation between the Russian Basketball Federation and the DobroFon charity program is active support for the Quiet! Basketball project. This initiative is aimed at creating an inclusive environment for people with disabilities, which allows them to play basketball and participate in competitions. The Quiet! Basketball program includes financial support for basketball in specialized sports federations, grants for solving operational problems in the regions, organizing open professional and amateur matches, and holding many special events. Fonbet, through its DobroFon charity program, strives not only to develop sports, but also to make them accessible to all categories of the population, including people with disabilities.
The cooperation between Fonbet and the Russian Basketball Federation has become a significant step for the development of this sport in the country. The partnership agreement was signed in Perm in 2023 as part of the Russia — Sports Power forum. As part of the cooperation, the country's largest bookmaker supports such tournaments as the Women's Premier League and the Women's Russian Cup, the Women's Super League and Major League, the Men's Super League and Major League, as well as the Russian men's and women's national 5×5 and 3×3 basketball teams.
In addition to the Russian Basketball Federation, Fonbet is a partner and sponsor of football and hockey clubs and a number of sports federations and competitions, including the Russian Football Union, the Continental Hockey League, the Artistic Gymnastics Federation, the Judo Federation, the Computer Sports Federation, the Sports Programming Federation and many others. By the end of 2023, Fonbet had transferred more than 850 million rubles to charity, socially significant projects and sports development. One of the largest charity initiatives is the “Everyone Matters” campaign, which has been held at the Fonbet Russian Football Cup matches for two seasons.
