“AS Monaco”, which withdrew from the EuroLeague, was supposed to start in the EuroCup competition, but removal from the French league takes away this opportunity.

“Bosna” would return to the EuroCup competition after a long break – the last time they played here was in the 2008-09 season. Last season, “Bosna” competed in the FIBA Europe Cup and reached the quarterfinals.

Under the leadership of coach Bogdan Tanjević, “Bosna” became a local basketball power in the eighth decade, led forward by one of the best players in European basketball history – Mirza Delibašić, and in 1979 “Bosna” won the European Champions Cup, which now equates to a EuroLeague victory.

However, Hamburg “Towers” (Germany) are also vying for the “AS Monaco” spot in the EuroCup competition.

The French National Olympic Committee and the country’s basketball federations rejected the financially troubled “AS Monaco”‘s claim to remain in the championship – they still have the option to go to court, but it is doubted whether “AS Monaco” will dare to do so.

“AS Monaco” could end up in the third league, which is a semi-professional league, or even play only at the amateur level.

Due to the removal of “AS Monaco”, the “Saint-Quentin” club, which was relegated from the elite division, will be returned to the top French league, and “Fos-sur-Mer” will return to the second.
