For her future Euroleague and the thoughts of the top European event to open its calendar and add more groups, the Paulians of Moiyenouna.
The Euroleague CEO was hosted in the Lithuanian “Krepsinis? Net.”, In which he revealed the organizing authority’s thoughts to open in large markets and to Increase teams to 24!
However, as he pointed out, in order to happen should find the correct balance, Since the team’s schedule is already burdened with domestic and European matches.
In detail what he said:
“For many years, possible expansion markets remained the same, with Dubai appearing as a new nomination. Valencia has always been a strong choice. It is a stable team with impressive results, in a great city and a new stadium under construction. It remains a top choice.
France, with a strong team such as Paris, as well as Italy and Germany, are all critical markets for us. In addition, teams such as Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Jerusalem from EuroCup knock on the Euroleague door. They certainly have the opportunity to compete in Euroleague in the future.
Everything is related to market power, television agreements and how they influence sponsorship opportunities. We also need to maintain the athletic authority – we want every team to be competitive and see full stadiums throughout the league.
I think 24 teams at Euroleague would be ideal, but we will see how things will evolve in the future. We have to find the right balance. The current form, where all teams play with each other is exciting, but with more teams and a program already full, it is difficult to imagine how we could fit more games without overloading the players.
It is difficult to discuss licenses A ‘(p. The guaranteed contracts) at present. We have 13 groups of shareholders and while clubs such as Paris and others want to obtain a license A ‘, it is too early for this decision.
As far as Serbian groups are concerned, there are some peculiarities, but their fan culture and atmosphere are unmatched in Europe. Everyone wants to see this energy at Euroleague. We always give priority to these teams because they greatly contribute to the identity and experience of the league fans. “
