Following the Basketball Federation of India (BFI)’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on June 8 in Chennai, several crucial decisions were made regarding the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Venue Announcements

National Basketball League
According to a report from the Times of India, the open bidding for the National Basketball League tender rights will take place on June 25. This announcement comes despite a stay on the opening of bids, secured via a Karnataka civil court order.
Player Remuneration
According to The Hindu, BFI President Aadhav Arjuna has expressed the possibility of implementing a fixed remuneration structure for all players who are part of the national team camps by the end of the year.
New Coach for 3×3 Teams
Highlighting the rise of 3×3 as a distinct format, it is reported that BFI will appoint a separate coach for India’s 3×3 teams. The coach is said to be from Serbia and the appointment is likely to be confirmed within a month.
Potential Partnership
According to reports, following BFI’s partnership with Manipal University earlier this year, it is likely that Corvuss American Academy, an international boarding school for student-athletes located in Karjat, near Mumbai, founded by former international basketball player Kunal Maria, will be on-boarded as the federation’s next ‘National Basketball Academy.’
