More problems in Euroleague: Clubs without a fixed position join forces to join forces

Or if the landscape of European club basketball wasn’t already disrupted enough by the NBA’s project to create a new competition in cooperation with FIBA, Basketball News revealed yesterday that the majority of teams without a permanent place in the EuroLeague are forging a common front to protect their interests. According to this information, the group will also include teams outside of the EuroLeague but wishing to join, such as Dubai Basketball, Red Star, Partizan, AS Monaco, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Virtus Bologna, Valencia Basket, and even Israel’s Hapoel Jerusalem. It is said that Turkey’s Besiktas, Greece’s PAOK Thessaloniki and Italy’s Napoli may also join this group in the future.

The targets are currently Real Madrid, Barça, Baskonia, Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce, Anadolu Efes, Zalgiris Kaunas, Armani Milan, Bayern Munich, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Asbel Villeurbanne and CSKA Moscow, although their participation in the sport has been suspended due to the war in Ukraine. They want greater decision-making power and also a larger share in the distribution of the profits generated by competition.

One of the ultimate goals is to get more clubs to become shareholders in EuroLeague, which is seen as essential to combating the existential threat posed by competition from the NBA. According to Basket News, these “B clubs” are willing to make financial offers to EuroLeague to change the status quo.

The only club without a fixed license is excluded from this common front. Paris Basketball hopes to eventually take over as shareholder of Asbel Villeurbanne, another French team with financial problems, and appears to have its future set on the Basketball Champions League.

The creation of this internal faction could be a destabilizing factor at a critical time for EuroLeague. This is because, if their demands are not met, teams from this group may abandon competition or even decide to create a new league.

And during this time, Barça, Real Madrid, Fenerbahce and Asbel have still not signed new 15-year licenses while waiting for details of the project that the NBA plans to implement in Europe in 2027.

Tension is rising. Euroleague notified NBA about possible lawsuits

Europa League reported NBAAccording to Eurohoops, legal action may be initiated in case of negotiations for a new project in Europe between the American league and the clubs that have signed an agreement with the Euroleague for the next ten years.

A letter was sent to the NBA last week and all EuroLeague clubs currently holding License A were notified.

It was also reported that a remote meeting will be held between Euroleague shareholder clubs on January 13, as they are the only shareholders who have not yet signed a new license for the next 10 years, and the main purpose of this will be for Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​Fenerbahçe and ASVEL to decide on the future.

On Friday, January 16, the deadline set by Euroleague shareholders ends to fully confirm the common future of the tournament. Therefore, answers may come within a few hours. However, we should also point out that, legally, according to existing contracts, clubs can sign their new licenses until June 30, 2026, so it is very difficult to predict anything.

Among the remaining Euroleague clubs, there is optimism that Barcelona and Fenerbahce will agree on a position with other shareholders and continue the agreement. At the same time, Real Madrid remains a mystery and ASVEL’s days in the Euroleague appear to be over.

Each case is expected to be handled individually, and in the case of ASVEL, no resistance is expected from the Euroleague if the club led by Tony Parker wants to withdraw from the tournament.

Meanwhile, the clubs that are currently participating in the Euroleague and do not have an A-license also sent a joint letter and requested their presence at the meetings regarding the future of the tournament. But most likely they will not participate in tomorrow’s negotiations.
