A tournament of competition and emotion marked by the importance of a Solid Base
Behind every dribble, every pass and every shot made, there was a surface that ensured the game took place in the best possible conditions. The Ultimate Plus™ Polypropylene modular flooring emerged as a quiet but essential player. Its ability to provide an efficient and quick installation was key at an event that required a smooth and hassle-free set-up. But our sports tile didn’t stop at ease of installation; its innovative design equipped it to cope with even the most abrupt temperature changes, ensuring consistent and safe performance.
The basketball court floor that adapts to the action
The versatility of Bergo Ultimate™ and Bergo Ultimate Plus™ tiles came to life at the FIBA 3X3 Europe Cup. In an event where every detail counts, these tiles demonstrated their ability to adapt to terrain that was not completely smooth. This feature became an invaluable advantage, allowing players to focus on their game without worrying about the irregularities of the terrain.
In addition, it offers infinite combinations to give way to creativity and add that professional touch for a more corporate floor, to be able to compose mosaics or drawings that go with the identity of wherever it is installed. Also, this floor for basketball courts has the advantage that you can redistribute the tiles as many times as you want to change the look of the court.

Certifications that speak for themselves
In an environment where performance is key, the certifications of the Bergo Ultimate Plus™ Polypropylene modular flooring more than backed it up. Meeting the European EN14877 standard for synthetic surfaces for sports venues meant that ball bounce and coefficient of friction were optimal, regardless of whether the floor was dry or wet. The ability to dry quickly after rain, made possible by the perforated structure, ensured that play continued uninterrupted.
Conclusion: A successful scenario that leaves a legacy on every panel
As the last game was played and the last shot was taken, the achievements of this memorable tournament were recorded. The Serbian men’s team won its fourth consecutive title, demonstrating its dominance in 3×3 basketball, while the French women’s team claimed its third title. Behind these triumphs was more than just the talent of the players; there was a solid and reliable platform that elevated the game to new levels. The FIBA 3X3 Europe Cup 2022 went down in history as a reminder that 3×3 basketball is more than a game; it is an expression of passion, dedication and excellence. Behind the moments of excitement and unforgettable victories, Ultimate Plus™ Polypropylene sports tiles left their mark. Their contribution to efficient installation, adaptability on various terrains and high-level certifications underlined their importance at the tournament. With each modular floor panel, a chapter was written in the legacy of the FIBA 3X3 Europe Cup 2022, reminding everyone that exceptional performance starts from the ground up.
