Following tonight’s announcement that the British Basketball Federation (BBF) is taking steps to place the company into liquidation, Super League Basketball (SLB) Interim Independent Chair, Sanjay Bhandari MBE said:

“Super League Basketball is saddened to see that the British Basketball Federation is taking steps to place the company (BBF Ltd.) into liquidation. Our immediate thoughts are with the staff affected during what is undoubtedly a difficult and uncertain time.

“In the meantime, we shall continue to support the sport from grassroots to the elite level — including supporting the GB team in the forthcoming international fixtures.

“SLB will also continue to work constructively with FIBA, the Home Country Associations, UK Government and other stakeholders to support the review of governance of the sport that is so evidently necessary.”
