In the world of basketball, the FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup 2022 stood out as an event that transcended borders and united nations in an exciting competition. This international basketball tournament brought together the best of the Americas in a battle for supremacy. The 2022 edition, which took place in Miami, was more than a competition; it was an opportunity to highlight the importance of having exceptional playing conditions, thanks in part to our Bergo Ultimate Plus™ Polypropylene basketball court tiles, as FIBA decided to count on us again after the success of the FIBA 3X3 Europe Cup tournament two months ago.
The FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup 2022 was not just a sporting competition; it was a meeting of cultures, talent and ambitions. Over the course of four days, from November 4-8, Miami became a hotbed of excitement and passion for basketball. National teams from all over the Americas faced off in a series of games that took the competition to new heights.
A tournament of transcendence for our modular soil
Behind every basket made and every exciting play, there was a surface that served as the perfect stage for the show. Bergo Ultimate Plus™ Polypropylene modular flooring emerged as an essential component in this prestigious tournament. Its integrated expansion system and ability to meet weather challenges provided the foundation upon which players could demonstrate their skills. In a tournament that required impeccable installation and unparalleled adaptability, these tiles proved their worth.
The foundation for success: Ultimate Plus™ polypropylene modular flooring.
The versatility of Bergo Ultimate™ and Bergo Ultimate Plus™ tiles was once again a standout feature at the FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup 2022. On a court where every centimeter matters, these basketball court tiles delivered consistent performance even on less uniform terrain. This quality was an invaluable advantage, allowing players to focus on the game rather than the imperfections of the terrain.
In a competitive environment where every detail is critical, the certifications of Bergo Ultimate Plus™ Polypropylene basketball court tiles added credibility to their exceptional quality. Meeting the European EN14877 standard for synthetic surfaces for outdoor sports venues meant the flooring provided optimal ball bounce and an outstanding coefficient of friction in both dry and wet conditions. The ability to dry quickly after rain ensured that play continued uninterrupted.
