A partnership between Euroleague Basketball and Cisco – the worldwide leader in IT, networking and cybersecurity solutions – will give fans at the 2019 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain this weekend an innovative wireless connectivity experience that is second to none.
Fans at Fernando Buesa Arena for the Final Four will enjoy access to a powerful wireless network at no cost, allowing them to connect to the Internet and instantly follow all the content on offer from Euroleague Basketball and its partner.
