Like Strasbourg on Tuesday, Cholet passed the first obstacle of qualifying for the 2023-2024 Champions League (BCL) on Wednesday, organized this week in Antalya and Belek (Turkey) via three tournaments each comprising eight teams. The winner of each tournament will qualify for the BCL final draw.
In tournament 2, the Mauges team narrowly won (76-72) against Antwerp (Belgium) in the first round and will face Varèse (Italy) in the second round on Friday.
For one of his first professional matches, and in the absence of captain Kim Tillie, injured (foot), the great hope trained at the club Tidjane Salaun (2.05 m, 18 years old) was the best scorer for Cholet ( 24 points in 34 minutes).
Tuesday, in group 3, Strasbourg, the second representative of Betclic Élite, qualified for the second round by defeating (83-78) Jonava (Lithuania) and will face Ness Ziona (Israel) on Thursday.
In the event of victories during the second round, the two French clubs will play for their place in the final table of the Champions League in a final dry match on Saturday (group 3) and Sunday (group 2).
In the event of failure, they would be transferred to the FIBA Europe Cup, of which Cholet was a finalist in 2023.
