“Shareholders will decide”

In the interview given to AS, EuroLeague CEO Paulius Motiejunas also spoke about the future of teams that do not have the multi-year license. Today they are there five teams with annual license and one will have to come out from the competition in 2024/25. The suspect is Valencia Basketballwhich should make room for Paris EuroCup champion. Motiejunas is not forthcoming at the moment, explaining that the five companies all have the same probability, to date, not to play the EuroLeague next season. “Unfortunately between Alba Berlin, Virtus Bologna, the two teams from Belgrade and Valencia, one will have to go down because Paris Basketball will be there. They all have a 20% chance of going to the EuroCup. For us the teams are on equal terms and will be the shareholder to make a decision. Valencia has had a great regular season and is also building a very attractive new Arena. It’s incredible, a big step for the club. They are doing great things, very positive in the Euroleague, but it’s true that next year is what it is and there is one option in five to leave him out.”
