VTB United League President Sergey Kushchenko told Sport24 that for domestic clubs, the transition to Asia will not be an effective development measure.
— I think that we are still a European league, for many years we have deserved serious authority in this field. We have to see what the opponents will be. Probably, the competitive history is Chinese clubs, there is basketball in Iran.
The project is being revived in Dubai. We are just following this, but it is hardly possible to say that it will be effective for our league. There is a manual mode – what will happen next summer, we will start from here, – said Kushchenko.
Earlier, Kushchenko said that the issue of inviting foreign teams to participate in the VTB United League is being considered.
