FIBA Approved Flooring: Certified Systems for Professional Basketball Courts

What FIBA Approved Flooring Means for Professional Basketball Courts

FIBA approved flooring is the foundation of every top-tier basketball venue, ensuring playing surfaces meet the exacting standards of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). For professional basketball courts, this certification is a guarantee that the floor delivers the shock absorption, ball bounce, and uniformity required for fair, high-level competition. FIBA approval signifies that the system has been rigorously tested for safety, resilience, and overall performance—key factors for athletes, facility managers, and those specifying sports floors for new or renovated arenas.

Key Requirements for FIBA Approved Flooring Systems

FIBA certification is based on strict technical, material, and performance standards. When evaluating or specifying FIBA approved flooring, consider the following requirements:

• Exact court dimensions (28m x 15m) with precise markings
• Uniform shock absorption across the playing area
• Consistent ball bounce and energy restitution
• Surface slip resistance for safe player movement
• Durable, high-quality hardwood 
• Compliance with independent testing and documentation, including EN 14904 certification

These requirements ensure that athletes, coaches, and organizers can depend on the court to perform at the highest level, whether for international tournaments or national league games.
