“In mid-March, the Adriatic league will announce the participation of a team from Dubai”

The die was cast for his… move Dubai in Europe.

It has been known for some time now the strong interest from the United Arab Emirates for their basketball participation in our continent, with the ultimate goal of Euroleague. However, for this to happen, the team from the Asian country must compete in a European competition.

As everything shows, this pending is ready to settle and the Dubai team has reportedly “locked in” its participation in Adriatic league. According to what “Mozzartsport” revealed, in mid-March (probably 12 to 15 of the month) the management board of the organization will meet with this as an exclusive topic of discussion. As stated in the article, there is a very positive atmosphere for the entry of the team from the United Arab Emirates in the Adriatic league and indeed this will be confirmed next month.

A big role in this was played by great and very profitable financial proposition which came to the league from the Arabs. It’s about a deal totaling $4.5 million, which will cover all the expenses of the teams, referees and organizers for their trips and of course the remaining amount is for sponsorships. However, the eventual participation of the team from Dubai will be in its form wild cardso he will not have a say in the decisions of the board of directors, which is made up of shareholders.

This proposal concerns for the next three yearsstarting with the new season 2024/25. In fact, there are rumors that there is even a five-year extension of the relevant contract, which means that the Arabs will come to… stay.
