The Basketball Infra League (BI League), a participatory competition (game) in which clubs, fans, and citizens come together to support and enliven the regions where basketball and B.LEAGUE clubs are located, has started.
The “Basketball Infra League (BI League)” consists of two parts: the “Basketball League Division (B.LEAGUE)” and the “Infrastructure League Division”, and the rankings of both divisions are combined to form the “Basketball Infra League (BI League)”. The overall winning club will be determined.
The overall winning club will receive a prize of 3 million yen. In addition, the person with the most posting points (MVP) and the fans/citizens (MIP) who made impressive posts will receive wonderful individual prizes.
This season, we will use the information posted by everyone to ascertain the number of basketball goals in your city and visualize basketball-related infrastructure, thereby increasing the number of basketball-related people in the region and improving the local community. This will lead to the activation of
This initiative is positioned as a stepping stone toward “regional revitalization centered on basketball and infrastructure,” which we aim to achieve through collaborative creation with B.LEAGUE’s innovation partner Infronia Holdings. In the future, through initiatives such as this that utilize citizen participation and digital technology, we aim to quickly identify and resolve social issues in each region, such as aging infrastructure, not just basketball facilities, and to build a system that increases the attractiveness of the region. I’m coming.
