EuroLeague, moving towards 20 teams. This was announced by Eurodevotion, who anticipate the first leaks from the EuroLeague shareholders’ meeting.

In this way, with the confirmation of Virtus Bologna in the maximum continental competition, the anticipation of the past few days by Sportando and RealOlimpia Milano would be confirmed.

EuroLeague shareholders have approved the league’s expansion to 20 teams, BasketNews reports. Virtus Bologna, Valencia, Monaco, Partizan, and Crvena Zvezda will receive three-year licenses, while Dubai is set to join with a five-year agreement.

Hapoel Tel Aviv joins as EuroCup champion, while Paris has been awarded a one-year wild card, possibly linked to the NBA Europe project.

The single-round format remains, meaning a grueling 38-game regular season is ahead.
