Big changes are coming to European basketball. The EuroLeague recently gathered its top leaders at a summit in Cernobbio, Italy, to map out the future of the competition.
- EuroLeague president Dejan Bodiroga and CEO Chus Bueno met with representatives from the league’s 13 shareholder clubs.
- The group discussed a new 10-year business plan, officially agreeing to transition toward a franchise-based system.
- Leaders also opened the door to evaluating bids from other clubs interested in joining this new model.
- Crucially, the league intends to move forward independently, regardless of the NBA’s rumored expansion plans for Europe in 2027.
This shift marks a major turning point for the league as it looks to secure its long-term growth.
