Hosts announced for FIBA Europe Cup Qualifying Tournaments

MUNICH (Germany) - The hosts of the seven FIBA Europe Cup Qualifying Tournaments for the 2023-24 season have been confirmed ahead of Tuesday's draw.

The Qualifiers will take place between October 2-5 with six tournaments consisting of three teams, while one tournament will feature four teams.

Teams that will be the hosts of the Qualifying Tournaments will be separated in the draw, and are as follows:

Keravnos BC - Nicosia, Cyprus
Parnu Sadam - Parnu, Estonia
Kataja Basket - Joensuu, Finland
Egis Kormend - Kormend, Hungary
Rabotnicki Skopje - Skopje, North Macedonia
Jamtland Basket - Ostersund, Sweden
Manisa BBSK - Manisa, Turkey

The winner of each tournament advances to the Regular Season, which has been extended for the 2023-24 season to feature 40 clubs split across 10 groups of four.

As clubs that have opted in from the Basketball Champions League Qualification Rounds could qualify to the BCL Regular Season, this may lead to additional spots in the Regular Season of the FIBA Europe Cup opening up - to be filled by the best ranked runners-up in the Qualifying Tournaments.

Seedings for both the Qualifiers and Regular Season have previously been announced with the draw taking place in Munich, Germany on Tuesday, August 8 - and streamed live on the official FIBA YouTube channel.
