The Matiasic Group is aiming to expand its footprint across both Italian and European basketball

Important signals are emerging regarding the future of basketball in Trieste. The Matiasic Group has guaranteed the team’s stay in the city and confirmed that the application for registration to the upcoming Serie A season has been properly submitted.

The news is expected to reassure fans and the local environment after weeks of uncertainty about the club’s future, with ownership now seemingly committed to continuing its project and keeping Trieste in Italy’s top flight.

At the same time, a new basketball initiative in Rome is also taking shape. According to reports, the capital’s new team would be built around a roster combining players from the United States and high-level European talent, with the clear goal of becoming competitive and ambitious from the outset.

Details regarding timing, organizational structure, and operational aspects are still to be clarified, but early indications suggest the Matiasic Group is aiming to expand its footprint across both Italian and European basketball.
