History
The FIBA European Champions Cup was originally established by FIBA and it operated under its umbrella from 1958 until the summer of 2000, concluding with
the 1999–00 season. Euroleague Basketball was created after the end of the FIBA European Champions Cup.
FIBA had previously used the EuroLeague name for the competition since 1996 but had never trademarked the name. As FIBA had
no legal recourse on the usage of the name, it started a new league named the FIBA SuproLeague. The following 2000–2001 season
started with two top European professional club basketball competitions: FIBA SuproLeague (renamed from FIBA EuroLeague) and
Euroleague.
Top clubs were split between the two leagues: Panathinaikos, Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv, CSKA Moscow and Efes Pilsen stayed with
FIBA, while Olympiacos, Kinder Bologna, Real Madrid Teka, FC Barcelona, Paf Wennington Bologna, Žalgiris Kaunas, Benetton
Treviso, AEK and Tau Cerámica joined Euroleague Basketball.
In May 2001, Europe had two continental champions, Maccabi of the FIBA SuproLeague and Kinder Bologna of the Euroleague.
Both organizations realized the need to come up with a unified competition and Euroleague Basketball negotiated terms and dictated
proceedings which FIBA agreed to their terms. As a result, European club competition was fully integrated under Euroleague
Basketball's umbrella and teams that competed in the FIBA SuproLeague during the 2000–01 season joined it as well.
The authority in European professional basketball was divided over club-country lines. FIBA stayed in charge of national team
competitions (like the FIBA EuroBasket, the FIBA World Cup, and the Summer Olympics), while Euroleague Basketball took over
the European professional club competitions. From that point on, FIBA's Korać Cup and Saporta Cup competitions lasted one more
Euroleague Trophy
season and then Euroleague Basketball launched the ULEB Cup, now known as the EuroCup.
League era
In November 2015, Euroleague Basketball and IMG agreed on 10-year joint venture. Both Euroleague Basketball and IMG will manage the commercial
operation, and the management of all global rights covering both media and marketing.[5] The deal was worth €630 million guaranteed over 10 years, with
projected revenues reaching €900 million.[6] Along with the deal the league changed into a true league format, with 16 teams playing each other team in the
regular season followed by the playoffs. The A-licensed club were assured of participation for the following ten years in the new format. After the new format of
the EuroLeague and FIBA implementing national team windows, a conflict between the two organizations emerged. EuroLeague has been criticised by FIBA as
well as several national federations for creating a 'closed league' and ignoring the principle of meritocracy. In July 2019, EuroLeague announced that from the
2019–20 season there will be no direct assess to the league through domestic leagues anymore.[7]
Title sponsorship
On 26 July 2010, Turkish Airlines and Euroleague Basketball announced a €15 million strategic agreement to sponsor the top European basketball competition
across the globe. According to the agreement, starting with the 2010–11 season, the top European competition would be named Turkish Airlines Euroleague
Basketball. Similarly, the EuroLeague Final Four would be named the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, whereby the new league title would appear in all
media accordingly. This title partnership was set to run for five seasons, with the option of extending it to an additional five.[8][9] On 23 October 2013, Turkish
Airlines and Euroleague Basketball agreed to extend their partnership, up until 2020.[10]
*There were two competitions during the 2000–01 season. The SuproLeague, which was organized by FIBA, and the Euroleague, which was organized by
Euroleague Basketball.

Format
Starting with the 2016–17 season, the EuroLeague is made up of 18 teams, which each play every other team
twice (once at home and once away) in a double round robin league regular season, for a total of 34 games
played by each team.
The top 8 placed teams at the end of the regular season advance to playoffs, each playing a 5-game playoff
series against a single opponent. The regular season standings are used to determine which teams play each
other, and in each pairing the higher placed team has home-court advantage in the series, playing 3 of the 5
games at home. The winners of each of the four playoff series advance to the Final Four, held at a
predetermined site. The Final Four features two semi-finals, a third place game, and the championship game,

Qualification

Shareholders Executive Board. These thirteen licensed clubs are currently:
The remaining 5 EuroLeague places are held by 5 associated clubs that have annual licences, of which one has two-year wild card, 2 have one-year wild-cards
and two are the finalists of the previous season's 2nd-tier European competition, the EuroCup.
Arena standards
Effective as of the 2012–13 season, EuroLeague clubs with what was at the time an "A License" had to host their home EuroLeague games in arenas that have a
seating capacity of at least 10,000 people. This same minimum 10,000-seat arena capacity rule, now currently applies to all EuroLeague clubs with a long-term
license.
Previously, in 2008, the Euroleague Basketball had originally decided to increase the minimum arena seating requirement to 10,000, within four years time, to
force EuroLeague clubs to move into and/or build bigger arenas. This was done in hopes of increasing revenues through more ticket sales. Conversely, associated
clubs, must currently play in arenas that seat at least 5,000 people.

Runner-up trophy
From 2012–13 season, Euroleague Basketball introduced a new innovation in the lobby of team sports. They replaced the second place medals for athletes with a
Runner-up trophy for the team, incorporating partially individual sports' way of awarding into a team sport. But rather than the three first places awarding system,
they preferred tennis' awarding system of the two finalists. So for the first time in the history of team sports, a runner up team can celebrate a European trophy,[29]
just like the silver and bronze medal of Olympic Games Winners, satisfying the common sense of runners-up value.
Various European Federations have moved similarly throughout the years. The LEN for example conduct a 3rd place game for the bronze medal.[30] EuroLeague
conduct a 3rd place game without awarding a medal. CEV on the other hand awards both the Runner-up & 3rd place game Winner with appropriate trophies.[31]
Records
Real Madrid has been the most successful team, having won the competition a record ten times.[33]
Split (1988–89, 1989–90, 1990–91), is the only team to have won the competition three times in a row, in the modern EuroLeague Final Four
era (1987–88 season to present).
Rīgas ASK, as a Soviet League club in the late 1950s and early 1960s (1958, 1958–59, 1959–60), is the only team to have won the
competition three times in a row, in the pre-EuroLeague Final Four era.
Real Madrid (1963–64, 1964–65) & (1966–67, 1967–68), along with Varese (1971–72, 1972–73) & (1974–75, 1975–76), are the only teams to
have won the European Championship twice in a row, on two occasions, in the pre-modern EuroLeague Final Four era.
Cantù (1981–82, 1982–83), Cibona (1984–85, 1985–86), and Olimpia Milano (1986–87, 1987–88), are the other three teams to have won the
European Championship twice in a row (only for one time), in the pre-modern EuroLeague Final Four era.
Maccabi Tel Aviv (2003–04, 2004–05), and Olympiacos (2011–12, 2012–13), are the only teams to have won the EuroLeague twice in a row,
becoming back-to-back EuroLeague champions in the Euroleague Basketball era (2000–01 season to present).
Fenerbahçe are the only team who stayed undefeated at home after a 30-game regular season and secured the best record after a regular
season (25–5) under the new format (2016–17 season to present). They are also the earliest EuroLeague Playoffs qualifiers ever in the
modern EuroLeague era.[34]
Istanbul is the only city from which nine clubs have played in the competition: Beşiktaş, Darüşşafaka, Eczacıbaşı, Efes, Fenerbahçe,
Galatasaray, Istanbul Technical University, Modaspor, and Ülker have participated in the EuroLeague.
Although Israel is located in the Middle East, its teams play in the EuroLeague, as its national federation is a member of FIBA Europe and its
top professional league is a member of ULEB. (Similarly, the Israel Football Association is a member of UEFA, enabling its national team and
clubs to play in UEFA competitions.)
In a small area of less than 40 km2 (25 mi2), north of Milan, there are 3 clubs that have won a total of 10 FIBA European Champions' Cups,
and played in a total of 16 finals: Pallacanestro Varese (5), Olimpia Milano (3) and Cantù (2).
The record score differential for a EuroLeague Finals game was achieved at the 2004 Finals, in Tel Aviv, where the home club, Maccabi Elite,
defeated Skipper Bologna, by a score of 118–74 (a 44-point difference).
A crowd of 22,567, which filled Belgrade Arena on 5 March 2009, for a 2008–09 season Top 16 game between Partizan and Panathinaikos is
the league's official all seated attendance record.[35] Before that, a crowd of 18,500 all seated fans occurred at a Panathinaikos home game at
the Olympic Indoor Hall, in Athens, against Tau Cerámica, on 12 April 2006, during the 2005–06 third quarterfinal playoff game.
The most points ever scored in a single game by an individual in the league's overall history (since 1958), is 99 points, by Radivoj Korać of
OKK Beograd, on 14 January 1965, during the 1964–65 season, in a game against Alvik.[36][37]
The most points ever scored in a single game by an individual in the league since Euroleague Basketball has owned the competition (2000),
is 49 points, by Shane Larkin of Efes Istanbul, on 29 November 2019, during the 2019–20 season, in a game against Bayern Munich.[38][39]
The most points ever scored in a single EuroLeague Finals game by an individual is 47 points, in the 1978–79 season, by Žarko Varajić of
Bosna, in a game against Emerson Varese, on 5 April 1979.[40]
