Occident reaffirms its support for Bilbao Basket as a sponsor for the 2025/26 season

"The insurer strengthens its ties with the sports club and reinforces its support for the Bilbao Basket Foundation to promote basketball in the Basque Country"

Occident has renewed its commitment to Bilbao Basket, consolidating its position as the official sponsor of the club competing in the Liga ACB for the 2025/26 season. This agreement marks the twelfth consecutive year of a partnership that not only supports the professional team but also promotes the development of basketball in the Basque Country through the Bilbao Basket Foundation.

Thanks to this renewal, the Occident logo will be featured on key elements of the Bilbao Arena, such as the free throw lights, the static fence around the court, and the press conference screen. It will also be visible on the club's official website and social media channels, strengthening the connection with fans.

Bilbao Basket, known as the "Men in Black", had a remarkable 2024/25 season, winning the FIBA Europe Cup and remaining among the elite of the Liga ACB with a competitive game that resonated with its fans.

Furthermore, Occident maintains its support for the Bilbao Basket Foundation, serving as the main sponsor of the 'Bilbao Basket-Occident Campus', held during Easter, summer, and Christmas. This initiative, in which more than 1,200 boys and girls participate, encourages the practice of basketball among children and young people, promoting values such as effort, teamwork, and self-improvement.

Occident, a pillar of sport

Sponsorship of Bilbao Basket is part of Occident's strategy to support sport as a vehicle for positive values. The insurer also collaborates with events such as the Bilbao-Bilbao Occident International Cycle Touring Event, the Conde de Godó Tennis Trophy, the Bera-Bera handball club and the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona-1899, demonstrating its commitment to sporting excellence.
