Molten Corporation, a manufacturer of competition quality sports balls and equipment, will provide the exclusive tournament design official game ball for the “FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019,” taking place in China from Saturday, August 31st to Sunday, September 15th. You can get the same ball for yourself!

Sales of the official game ball and the replica model will begin in countries around the world starting with an official game ball launching event in Shenzhen, China, on Friday, March 15th.

The BG5000 brings Molten's range of basketballs into a new era. The highly-valuable and crucial input of players was sought after and factored into the process. Following extensive testing, the ball received unanimously positive feedback, paving the way for it to be manufactured.

The end result is a basketball, with markedly improved control and grip performance, as well as an authentic texture. The new surface texture helps give it an ideal grip, even in contact with sweat or moisture. The ball is softer than in the past and therefore easier to control in every moment of the game. This ball is decorated with the four key elements of the Basketball World Cup Branding- heart, goal (basket), ball and court.

Molten will continue to develop and supply basketball products of outstanding function and design to players of all level, and work to fulfill the brand promise of “For the real game.”
