According to reports by <em data-start=\"479\" data-end=\"491\">BasketNews<\/em>, a shareholders\u2019 meeting is taking place to discuss the long-anticipated expansion of the league to 20 teams.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"759\">While no official statements are expected today, sources tell <em data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"676\">Sportando<\/em> that the new format is likely to be formally approved and then ratified on May 29.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"1021\">The discussion centers around three key clubs: Valencia, Virtus Bologna, and Dubai Basketball. The catalyst? Alba Berlin\u2019s surprising decision to leave the ECA competitions and return to the Basketball Champions League after 24 years of EuroLeague affiliation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1305\">Valencia, through media close to the club, hinted it might follow suit. A rejection of Virtus owner Massimo Zanetti\u2019s ambitions could have deepened the rift. Avoiding this fracture is vital for EuroLeague Basketball, especially as the specter of NBA Europe looms over the continent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1529\">In fact, on May 27, the NBA is expected to present its European initiative to FIBA officials in Geneva.
