We reach Court 50. More than just a game, it’s real impact
50 courts.
A number that represents more than places to play. It stands for culture, community, and commitment. From the first court in Lisbon in 2019 to the latest one in Rio de Janeiro, what started as a dream has become a global movement.
From Portugal to the world
Our revitalized courts stretch from north to south in Portugal, from Matosinhos to Portimão, including Chelas, Peniche, Oeiras, Braga, Almada, Leiria, and Chamusca.
Each court, a story. Each paint job, a statement. Each shot, a declaration: basketball lives here.
But this initiative has gone beyond borders.
Hoopers brought the game to Barcelona, reached São Paulo, and now lands in Rio de Janeiro with the launch of its 50th court.
Rio de Janeiro Court 50
The setting is the cradle of Brazilian talent, where the streets speak samba, funk, and basketball.
The mission continues to bring life to spaces that deserve more than abandonment.
Because a revitalized court empowers an entire community.
Impact in numbers
- 50 revitalized courts
- Over 20 cities involved
- Over 70 artists, crews, and collectives engaged
- The world united by one passion
Culture in every detail
Each court is unique because it’s built with the people who live the game.
Hoopers has collaborated with names like AkaCorleone, Sam The Kid, Vasco Costa, Joana Vasconcelos, FLIX, Neto Sete Oito, Tamara Alves, Mário Belém, T-Rex, João Varela, and many others.
The project also partnered with brands like Citroën, Betclic, NBA Station, Cleveland Cavaliers, MAC, FPB and Project Backboard.
At the heart of it all are those who play, paint, and show up. Those who feel the asphalt, hear the ball bounce, and live the game.
And the future?
This is just the beginning.
Court number 50 stands as a symbol of everything that has been built, and of everything still to come.
As long as there are hoops to install, lines to paint, and communities to connect, Hoopers will be there.
Let’s change the game, together.
