In 2010, it was incorporated into Hong Kong based web programming company Sports I.T. Solutions.[1]

The site also hosts a database of over 900,000 coaches and players both active or retired around the world, with some of that content being accessible only through subscription.

Summer league

Eurobasket.com also operates the Eurobasket Summer League, which are annual three day tournaments in the United States that visit in five host cities (Las Vegas, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, New York/New Jersey) in addition to the NCAA Women's Final Four. Their aim is to help unsigned free agents find professional clubs overseas and to that end, 767 former Eurobasket Summer League players were active on professional rosters in 67 different countries in 2019/20 season. The events, cater to both men and women, have hosted players from lesser known backgrounds (NCAA Division III colleges for example) to enable them to gain more exposure with games broadcast live on YouTube which has received over 125,000 views since 2018.
