The EuroLeague is considering making significant changes this summer to its competition system due to the anticipated increase in the number of teams participating.

EuroLeague leaders are preparing for expansion, regardless of whether Russian clubs return in October 2025.

Virtus Bologna’s president, Massimo Zanetti, confirmed that Dubai will join the EuroLeague’s elite.

Dubai’s team, formed just a year ago, has performed well in its inaugural ABA league season.

Given that Dubai hosted this year’s Final Four, it is increasingly likely that its basketball club will secure a spot in the expanded EuroLeague.
