“VEF Rīga” has found out its opponents in the main tournament of FIBA ​​Champions League

“VEF Rīga” opponents in group D will be Athens AEK and Sombatheja “Falco Vulcano”, as well as one of the winners of the qualifying round.

In the 2021/2022 season, 32 teams will participate in the main tournament, of which 28 are already guaranteed a place in the main tournament. Another 24 teams will compete for four additional seats in the main event.

The qualification will start on September 13, but the main tournament – on October 4.

In the regular tournament, 32 teams will be divided into eight subgroups of four units each. The winners of the sub-groups will immediately secure a place in the “play-off” first round, where they will be joined by eight more units, which will be determined in the “play-in” series between the second and third place teams in the group.

It is planned that the winners of the “play-in” tournament, the eighth final and the quarterfinals will be determined in a series of up to two victories. The teams that have reached the quarterfinals will enter the “Final Four” tournament, where they will compete for a prize pool of one million euros.

The “VEF Rīga” team, which will participate in this competition for the third season, reached the second stage of the FIBA ​​Champions League main tournament last season.

In May, the Spanish club Burgos “San Pablo” triumphed in the finals tournament held in Nizhny Novgorod in May, defending the title won last year.

In 2020/2021, the fifth season of the tournament was played. In the first three years, the basketball players of Tenerife’s Lenovo, Athens AEK and Bologna’s Segafredo Virtus were crowned champions.
