EuroLeague Basketball: Transfer extension until February 23

EuroLeague Basketball extended transfers until February 23 and so far announced some changes in their regulations. Specifically, only those players who have not even played a game in another EuroLeague team this season are eligible for transfers Participation in the event with his club..

Teams can transfer a player from another team into the tournament, but he is not eligible to participate.

At the same time, EuroLeague Basketball recalled a small but important change to the “eight healthy athletes” rule that any team must have to become a game.

In this case it says: “If national/local laws restrict an unvaccinated athlete’s travel or participation in a race, then that athlete will be considered “available” and included on the EuroLeague’s list of eight“.

What does that mean in practice? Also how can we see teams with seven players in a game since the eighth cannot travel with the rest of the mission or enter the stadium based on each country’s health protocol.

We also remind you that according to the new law adopted in France, only vaccinated people will have the right to enter the sports venues, which directly affects the participation of players in the games against Villeurbanne and Monaco.
