Following a proposal from FIBA's President Hamane Niang, the Central Board has unanimously decided to extend the contract of Secretary General Andreas Zagklis until 2031.

The decision was accepted during the FIBA Central Board meeting which took place over two days this week at the Patrick Baumann House of Basketball.

Zagklis was unanimously appointed FIBA Secretary General in December 2018.

As FIBA's fourth Secretary General, Zagklis has been in charge of developing and implementing an eight-year strategy for the cycle 2019 – 2027 that was approved by the FIBA Congress in 2019.

After leading FIBA in the successful delivery of its flagship men's event, the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 in China, FIBA's biggest to date with 32 teams, Zagklis has helped the organization navigate challenging times brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and its ever-changing landscape, which has included the successful debut of 3x3 Basketball at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
