"We value our partnership with the UBL and look forward to assisting in the growth of the independent basketball world," stated Simon Weber, co-founder of vivenu. "Speaking as a former basketball player, the sport is deeply rooted in the local community, and therefore welcomes a large base of passionate fans. We believe the UBL captures a very special sentiment of the game and are proud to be part of a movement impacting how current and future generations engage with the sport thanks in part to our ticketing platform."
