Red Star wins the 2023-2024 Aba League and therefore enters the next edition of the EuroLeague. As confirmed at the beginning of the year by CEO Paulius Motiejunas, the agreement has not changed, and therefore a place in the top continental competition is guaranteed for the winner of the eastern league.
Let’s take a look at who can already consider themselves part of the 2024-2025 EuroLeague season.
Multi-year license
1 – Real Madrid
2 – Panathinaikos
3 – Barcelona
4 – Olympiakos
5 – Fenerbahce
6 – Maccabi Tel Aviv
7 – Baskonia
8 – Anadolu Efes
9 – Olimpia Milan
10 – Zalgiris Kaunas
11 – Bayern Monaco
12 – Asvel
There would be a thirteenth, CSKA, but to date the Russian team is considered out of the next competition.
To these 12 we therefore add three teams.
13 – Paris (EuroCup winner)
14 – Red Star (Ama League winner)
15 – Monaco (former EuroCup winner, qualified for EuroLeague playoffs)
Three places remain, with Alba Berlin in the running, whose annual wild card renewal has expired, Partizan, Valencia and Virtus Bologna. Bourg, EuroCup finalists, is not eligible as Monaco confirmed their place in the playoffs, and Basiktas has shown its ambitions around Europe.
Let’s see the pros and cons of the clubs competing for the remaining three places in the top continental competition.
