A true avant-garde celebration of basketball culture where hoops collide with urban art, streetwear fashion and music – Euroleague Off Court: In the Air – is coming on a cascade of clouds to Paris on Friday, March 24.

Through an eclectic mélange of 2x2 games, dunk contests, urban art installations, Euroleague Off Court: In the Air will bring basketball's unique energy, style and enthusiasm to the very heart of a cultural capital like few in the world.

Amara Sy, French basketball legend and current Sports Director of Paris Basketball, will attend the event accompanied by EuroLeague and EuroCup players to welcome guests to witness a street court par excellence that will make participants feel like they are literally walking on air.

The closing party will take off with spectacular urban dance acts as well as a showcase by emerging rap talent Georgio. Foot Locker and adidas will deliver a top-notch music experience during the closing party while dressing up the athletes and referees. Unagi will spice up the 2x2 games by launching special player cards which pop up during the game and apply special rules such as special shots that count double or suddenly taking out one player from each team.

Euroleague Basketball and Turkish Airlines will team up with We Are Young and Trajectorie Studios to create a one-of-a-kind venue with a clouds-in-the-round motif and smoke shows designed to take street hoops to a whole new level - the sky!

"We are delighted to bring the Euroleague experience to such an important market as Paris, the eternal City of Light. With the collaboration of our longtime naming partner, Turkish Airlines, we want to celebrate a true basketball party in a city that is synonymous with creativity, lifestyle and authenticity, which are some of the EuroLeague's inherent values," Marshall Glickman, Euroleague Basketball CEO, stated. "Fashion, art, new technologies, music, street culture – and, of course, basketball – will be at the epicenter of this celebration, offering a lifetime experience to our Parisian fans."

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, stated: "As an airline that maintains its strong support for various sports all around the globe, we are happy to be the naming sponsor of Turkish Airlines Euroleague since 2010. One of the biggest sports organizations in the world, this special event now comes to Paris along with the EuroLeague Off Court. The attendees will experience the joy of basketball as well as having fun at various events with music, art, street culture and technology at the center. As the airline that flies to more countries than any other, Turkish Airlines is delighted to collaborate with Euroleague on such an event."
