CFI Financial Group has announced the expansion of its collaboration with the FIBA West Asia Super League (WASL). CFI will now serve as the league's presenting partner, further solidifying its commitment to supporting regional basketball and enhancing its brand presence across the Middle East.
In late May, CFI announced that it had become the official partner of the FIBA WASL Final 8 basketball tournament. The expansion of this partnership underscores CFI's strategic efforts to leverage sports sponsorships as a means of reaching broader audiences and reinforcing its market position. By becoming the presenting partner of the FIBA WASL, CFI aims to tap into the growing popularity of basketball in the region, aligning itself with the sport's dynamic and rapidly expanding fan base.
According to FNG, the collaboration will see CFI prominently featured in all league activities, including games, promotional events, and digital platforms. This enhanced visibility is expected to drive greater brand recognition and engagement among sports enthusiasts and potential clients in the Middle East.
"At CFI, we are committed to empowering sports and fostering excellence, which are core aspects of our corporate ethos. We are thrilled to support the FIBA WASL competition from start to finish and look forward to the dynamic seasons ahead," said Hisham Mansour, co-founder and Managing Director of CFI Financial Group.
The collaboration with FIBA WASL is part of CFI's broader strategy to integrate sports marketing into its business model. Sports sponsorships offer a unique platform for financial services companies to reach new demographics, particularly in regions with strong sports followings. For CFI, this partnership represents a strategic investment in brand building and market expansion.
Basketball has been gaining significant traction in the Middle East, with increasing participation and viewership. By aligning itself with FIBA WASL, CFI is positioning itself at the forefront of this growth, fostering community engagement and enhancing its corporate social responsibility initiatives.
"Partnering with CFI for the long term is a testament to our shared vision of promoting excellence and innovation in sports. CFI’s support enhances the League’s reach and visibility, and ensures longevity and sustainable goals. We are excited to start seeing the positive impact of this collaboration on the League," stated FIBA WASL President Abdullah Al-Aylfi.
ICFI's expanded collaboration with FIBA WASL as the league's presenting partner marks a significant milestone in the company's marketing and community engagement strategy. By investing in sports sponsorship, CFI is enhancing its brand presence and fostering a deeper connection with the Middle Eastern audience.
