Basket Torino

What Basket Torino does

Basket Torino (officially Reale Mutua Basket Torino) is a professional basketball organization based in Turin, Italy, founded on May 31, 2019, when the Serie A2 sports title was transferred from Dinamo Cagliari Academy. The club competes in Serie A2, the second tier of Italian basketball, and plays home matches at the Pala Gianni Asti arena (3,971-seat capacity) within Parco Ruffini. It is structured as a privately held amateur sports company (Basket Torino S.S.D. a R.L.) and has been fully owned since June 18, 2026 by Turin-based entrepreneur Bruno Palombella, who acquired 100% of the shares from outgoing president David Avino. Reale Mutua has served as title sponsor for approximately seven years, with Reale Immobili as a Gold sponsor, anchoring the club's commercial base.

The product portfolio centers on the men's professional first team but extends into a multi-tier community platform. Beyond Serie A2 matchdays, the club operates a Giovanili youth sector with age-tiered teams from Aquilotti through Under 19 Gold, an annual Basket Torino Summer Camp at Bielmonte (520 EUR/participant, ages 6-15), the KING Basket Torino School Cup tournament (expanded from 8 schools in 2025 to 16 schools in 2026), and a slate of B2C fan experiences including the Fan Experience Package (120 EUR), BT Birthday Experience (250 EUR minimum), and Thor mascot experience (50 EUR). A network of 18 Club Partner local basketball clubs extends the club's footprint across the Turin metropolitan area and Piedmont region.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) sponsorship and title rights (Reale Mutua as Title, Reale Immobili/Banca del Piemonte/Iren as Gold, plus Official, Technical, Media, and Medical partners), (2) matchday ticket sales distributed via Vivaticket and the Pala Gianni Asti box office, (3) merchandise sold through the Erreà Club online shop, and (4) fee-based programs (summer camp, youth development, school tournaments) and experience packages. GTM is community-led, with grassroots outreach, youth programs, school engagement, and direct matchday experience sales as the primary acquisition channels. The organization has no disclosed AI, technology platform, or API offering.
