Will Alba Berlin still play in the Euroleague next season? This question is currently haunting the public Basketball-Scene.

Reason: The Berliners played by far the worst season since they were accepted into the premier class in 2019. Before the last game in Athens (2nd), the Berliners were last in the 18-team league and had only won five of 33 games.

As is well known, you cannot be relegated from the Euroleague, but the contract to remain in the lucrative league could not be extended.
However, Alba’s sports director Himar Ojeda (51) is not worried: “We have met all the conditions for the coming season. There’s no reason to think we won’t play. We are a licensed club.”

Like the Spanish basketball site solobasket.com reports, there should be a contract clause that secures Alba’s place in the coming season. But not beyond that.
And where do the rumors about an early end in the Euroleague come from? “There is currently a restructuring process at the Euroleague,” explains Ojeda. “It hasn’t been completed yet and of course we’ll wait and see. There are also other interested parties in the Euroleague. And everyone is trying to play their cards right now.”

But the Berliners shouldn’t have a season like this again next year. “Five wins are definitely not enough,” Ojeda admits honestly. “Even though there were some games that we only narrowly lost, like recently against league leaders Real Madrid.”
