Cremona and Trieste at risk, Gianni Petrucci cuts to the chase

Sportal.it

Rough waters in Italy’s top basketball league. As Gazzetta dello Sport notes Nba Europe could come at the price of even important squares: after Cremona, Trieste. With the Rosea, Gianni Petrucci preferred not to get unbalanced and made it clear: “As president of the Federation I cannot have sentiment for one or the other: the president sees the realities, enforces the rules. I can express neither judgment nor sentiment.”

“With the new Commission of President Atelli we are working very well,” he added. “After several meetings, we are seeing how to further strengthen the body. The federations manage sports justice but they are a passive subject, the documents come from the Internal Revenue Agency and Government Authority. Then if someone wants to insult insults, I am trained. And we are open to all proposals that the League will send us to tighten the mesh even more if possible.”

In the meantime, La Lega Basket Serie A announces a strategic partnership with TeamKeys, a scouting and performance analytics platform developed for professionals, with the aim of integrating advanced data and advanced digital tools to support clubs and the fan experience.

Netball is a sport similar to basketball popular in Australia, New Zealand and Commonwealth countries.
It is played between two teams of seven athletes and is mostly played by women.
In 1995 the International Olympic Committee officially recognized this discipline.

World Netball aims to gain netball's entry into the Olympic program.
You use a leather or rubber ball with a circumference of 66-67 centimeters to score in the opponent’s basket.
The field measures 30.5 meters by 15.25 meters and is divided into three sectors by horizontal lines.
In the center there'is a 90 cm circle, at the ends semicircles with radius of 4.9 meters for the shooting area.
On the baseline is a 3-meter-high pole with a 38-cm-diameter ring.
Each player has a defined role indicated by the English initials on the jersey.

Only the GS shooter and the GA forward can attempt the basket shot.
The other positions are goalkeeper GK, defender GD, side attacker WA, side defender WD and center C.
Australia dominates the world's roll of honor with 12 titles in the Netball World Cup.
Australia has won in 1963, 1971, 1975, 1979, 1983, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023.
New Zealand won 5 world titles in 1967, 1979, 1987, 2003 and 2019.
Trinidad and Tobago is the'other national team to have won the world title, in 1979.

The agreement confirms the LBA as one of the most advanced leagues in Europe in the adoption of sport-tech solutions applied to professional basketball. The collaboration includes access to the TeamKeys Scouting/Performance platform for LBA clubs with subsidized conditions and dedicated licenses for teams that participated in the IBSA NextGen Cup for analysis and technical preparation activities.

TeamKeys services were used on an experimental basis on the occasion of the Frecciarossa Final Eight 2026 by providing advanced statistics for a more complete account of the match event.

With this operation, the LBA consolidates a clear vision: technology is not an accessory, but a strategic asset to improve performance, spectacle, and fan engagement. In an international landscape increasingly driven by data, the Italian Serie A chooses to lead innovation, offering its clubs concrete tools and fans an increasingly evolved and immersive experience.
