Antalya, Türkiye – IBEX.AGENCY covered the Gloria Cup Basketball 2026 Summer Games at Gloria Sports Arena in September 2026. Across several game days, the assignment produced an extensive photographic record of the international pre-season tournament – directly from courtside, focusing on game action, emotion, matchups, players and coaches.

The event was staged at Gloria Sports Arena in Antalya. The venue also includes its Olympic Training Center, accredited by the Turkish Olympic Committee, adding a professional training environment to the setting of the tournament.

The field included Anadolu Efes, Galatasaray MCT Technic, Beşiktaş, Bahçeşehir Koleji, TOFAŞ, Türk Telekom, CSKA Moscow, Lokomotiv Kuban, Dubai Basketball and U-BT Cluj-Napoca, bringing together leading clubs from Türkiye and international basketball.

Among the most prominent players in front of the camera was Mike James in an Anadolu Efes jersey. The former NBA player and EuroLeague MVP represents the international quality that shaped the tournament in Antalya.

Alongside photography, delivery speed was central to the assignment. Selected images were edited, captioned and prepared through the IBEX workflow during or immediately after games.

For IBEX.AGENCY, Gloria Cup 2026 was therefore both an international basketball assignment and a real-world deployment of its digital production and delivery workflows – from courtside capture through selection, editing and IPTC captioning to fast image delivery.
