Entente Sportive Basket Villeneuve-d'Ascq Lille Métropole chooses EVENTORI Ticketing to modernize its fan experience. A partnership that also marks a first for us: ESBVA-LM becomes our first 100% women's professional club.
A Club Playing at the Highest Level
Founded in 1987 from the merger of two amateur clubs in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, les Guerrières spent a decade climbing every rung of French women's basketball before reaching the Ligue Féminine de Basket in 2000. They've never looked back since.
The track record speaks for itself: two-time French champions (2017 and 2024), two-time EuroCup winners (2015 and 2025), and EuroLeague finalists in 2024 against Fenerbahçe Istanbul. In the space of a decade, ESBVA-LM has established itself as one of the powerhouses of European women's basketball.
Their home, the Palacium in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, holds up to 2,300 supporters and was renovated in 2021, a fitting reflection of a club that never stops evolving.
Modernizing the Fan Experience: The Next Challenge
On the court, the level is there. Off it, the club had identified an underleveraged asset: ticketing.
ESBVA-LM wanted to equip their team with a tool that was simple, efficient, and built for professional sport, with a back office that doesn't require weeks of training, a smooth front-end experience for fans, and above all, real visibility into sales data to drive commercial strategy match after match.
Three clear requirements. That's exactly what EVENTORI delivers.
Why EVENTORI?
Several things set us apart in the decision-making process.
People first. At EVENTORI, we don't sell software from behind a screen. We get involved, we support, we build alongside the club. That closeness mattered, perhaps more than any single feature.
Product simplicity. ESBVA-LM has a clear vision of what modern ticketing should look like: accessible to everyone, easy to manage in-house, and powerful enough to meet the demands of a professional club. EVENTORI Ticketing ticks every box, without unnecessary complexity.
Rapid feature releases. Over just a few months of conversations, the club saw new features continuously added to the platform. That pace of execution showed them they were choosing a partner committed to constant improvement.
Real-time data. This is perhaps the most structurally important element in the long term. With EVENTORI, ESBVA-LM will have real-time visibility into their sales to adjust offers, campaigns, and commercial strategy as the season unfolds rather than in hindsight.

A First We’re Proud Of
This partnership is also an important milestone for EVENTORI.
ESBVA-LM officially becomes our first 100% women's professional club. That's not a small thing. Top-level women's sport deserves the same tools, the same attention, and the same level of ambition as any men's professional club. We're proud that “les Guerrières” made that choice with us.
We can't wait to see the Palacium fill up, match after match, with a fan experience that lives up to the spectacle on the court.
