FIBA Europe Board confirms positive response by national federations, will continue to monitor situation
The FIBA Europe Board convened in Dublin, Ireland, on Friday 27 May.

DUBLIN, Ireland - The FIBA Europe Board Term of Office 2014-19 which convened in Dublin, Ireland, on Friday 27 May, discussed, among other items, the recent developments in European club basketball.

The Board had received and reviewed a report by the Executive Committee of FIBA Europe regarding the remodelling of European Club Competitions.

The Board noted that the National Federations impacted had reacted positively to the Board's decision of 20 March 2016 and, as a result, no national federation is currently affected in a negative way by the decision. Consequently, the senior men's national teams are currently expected to take their respective places in the next competitions organised by FIBA Europe.

The FIBA Europe Board also acknowledged that the Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA)’s anti-competitive practices persist and it is required to continue monitoring the position of the National Federations towards such practices.

«Δικαιώνεται ο αγώνας του Αγγελόπουλου »
Διαβάστε το σχόλιο του Γιώργου Νικολάου μετά την εξέλιξη με τη FIBA

Το δικό του σχόλιο και με ειδική αναφορά στην επιμονή και τη στάση του Μάκη Αγγελόπουλου, έγραψε ο Γιώργος Νικολάου, μετά τις θετικές εξελίξεις με τη FIBA και τη δεδομένη πλέον συμμετοχή της ΑΕΚ στο Eurocup. Ο υπεύθυνος επικοινωνίας της ΚΑΕ ΑΕΚ τόνισε στο facebook: «Έβλεπε-βλέπει πολύ πιο ψηλά απ' όλους. Μιλάει λίγο έως καθόλου και υπομένει εκνευριστικά. Αύριο επιτυγχάνεται ο πρώτος μικρός στόχος. Οι μεγαλύτεροι έπονται. Προς το παρόν, ΔΙΚΑΙΩΝΕΤΑΙ πανηγυρικά για το μεγάλο αγώνα, που έδωσε μόνος εναντίον όλων στην Ελλάδα και στην Ευρώπη. Η FIBA ήρε τους αποκλεισμούς. Προχωράμε...»

Patrick Comninos, Basketball Champions League Chief Executive Officer, and Markus Studer, Chairman of the Basketball Champions League's Board of Directors.

MUNICH, Germany (Basketball Champions League) - The Basketball Champions League has made a key appointment with Patrick Comninos becoming its Chief Executive Officer.

Comninos, who had headed UEFA’s Club and National Team Operations since January 2012, will be in charge of establishing and administering the Basketball Champions League - the innovative 50-50 partnership between FIBA and 10 top European leagues - as a top level competition in Europe, set to tip off in September.

"I look forward to this new challenge and to the opportunity of contributing to this unique project that is the Basketball Champions League. I feel confident that my experience can be useful in this new project which aims to deliver a great competition for the participating clubs," he said.

Markus Studer, the Chairman of the Basketball Champions League's Board of Directors, welcomed Comninos's appointment.

"Patrick Comninos has proven himself to be the ideal candidate for this position. He has the leadership qualities and know-how required to head up the Basketball Champions League and provide the boost required to make this truly pan-European club competition a reality," he said.

Prior to his time at UEFA, Comninos spent more than five years as General Manager of Superleague Greece, the highest professional football league in Greece. He had previously served as Director for the Olympic Football Tournaments of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.

The 47-year-old holds degrees in law from University College London as well as in international relations from Georgetown University in Washington D.C. and speaks four languages (Greek, English, French and Spanish).

Patrick Comninos will assume his new role as of 1 August 2016.

Munich courts rejects ECA and clubs requests‏
The request made by Euroleague was rejected
Champions League
A Munich court has rejected a request by ECA and a number of clubs to order FIBA/FIBA Europe to issue a declaration that basketball clubs and leagues are free to participate in Eurocup. 14 parties, including Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA) and the clubs of Fenerbahce, Real Madrid, Olympiacos and Maccabi, had filed a request for provisional measures before the Munich Civil Courts in May.


At first instance this was rejected and the judged asked for additional clarifications. After those were provided the judge rejected the part where the appellants were asking the court to order FIBA/FIBA Europe to issue a declaration that basketball clubs and leagues are free to participate in the competition of their preference.



The court has accepted a request that FIBA/FIBA Europe do not impose sanctions but, from a FIBA/FIBA Europe perspective, that matter has already been settled during the recent FIBA Europe Board in Dublin.



The 14 appellants: Fenerbahce,Real Madrid, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Olympiacos, Gran Canaria, Olimpija Ljubljana, Lietuvos Rytas, Cedevita, Unicaja Malaga, Zielona Gora, ABA league, ACB league, Euroleague Properties SA, Euroleague Commercial Asset.

Δεν έχω καταλάβει μια μιλάμε δηλαδή τι σημαίνει αυτό? από τι κατάλαβα η fiba δεν μπορεί να τιμωρήσει ομοσπονδίες ομάδες όμως μπορεί? εκεί είναι το ζουμί αν όχι δεν νομίζω ότι πολύ έχει σημασία να βγάλει και ανακοίνωση καθώς μετά οι ομάδες μπορούν να παίξουν οπού θέλουν χωρίς κυρώσεις ξέρει κάνεις τι συμβαίνει με αυτό ?

The news was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Munich Court to decide Thursday on preliminary injunction case

MUNICH, Germany - The Regional Court of Munich will decide on Thursday afternoon whether or not to lift an injunction barring FIBA Europe and FIBA from sanctioning, or threatening to sanction, national federations, national leagues and clubs in Europe.

On Tuesday 21 June a multi-member chamber in the case heard all legal arguments by FIBA Europe, who had the opportunity to present its position before the court for the first time.

The preliminary injunction was issued by a single judge upon the request of Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA) and 13 other applicants on 2 June. The application for the injunction was clearly filed to coincide with the registration period for the Eurocup competition.

FIBA Europe then filed an objection against the preliminary injunction on 6 June, on the grounds that it did not contain all relevant facts which would most probably have excluded such injunction if they had been presented to the court in the first place.

FIBA Europe welcomes Munich court decision to cancel temporary injunction

Munich, GERMANY - FIBA Europe on Thursday welcomed a decision by a Regional Court of Munich to cancel a temporary injunction barring FIBA Europe from taking statutory disciplinary measures vis-à-vis national federations, national leagues and clubs in Europe in relation to ECA’s anticompetitive practices.

This ruling came after the court heard all legal arguments by FIBA Europe, which was invited to present its position before it for the first time only last Tuesday.

As to the merits, the court indicated that the applying leagues and clubs were bound by CAS arbitration clauses in the statutes of FIBA Europe, which blocks them from litigation in national courts.

In addition, the court decided that the motions of all applicants lacked urgency. This was due to the fact that the applicants had not clearly mentioned the decision of the board of FIBA Europe of 20 March 2016, even though they were fully aware thereof. Instead they had tried to persuade the court that only the later letters from FIBA Europe to the national federations of 15 April 2016 triggered the claims which they asserted. After having been made aware of these circumstances by FIBA Europe, the court decided that the applicants had waited for too long before taking legal action and that they were therefore barred from preliminary proceedings.

Thursday’s decision comes as no surprise to FIBA Europe. Even though founded on procedural aspects, the ruling vindicates the position of FIBA, FIBA Europe and their national member federations as the ultimate basketball authorities in European basketball.

The preliminary injunction was previously issued by a single judge on 2 June, upon the request of Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA) along with 13 other applicants. As such, it is evident that the application for the injunction was only filed to coincide with the registration period for the Eurocup competition.

FIBA Europe then filed an objection against the injunction on 6 June, on the grounds that it did not contain all relevant facts which would have excluded such injunction if they had been presented to the court in the first place. The arguments of FIBA Europe led to the court lifting the injunction which it previously had issued.

Εκδικάστηκε η έφεση της FIBA κατά της πρωτόδικης απόφασης του δικαστηρίου του Μονάχου, το οποίο είχε απαγορεύσει αρχικά από την παγκόσμια ομοσπονδία να επιβάλλει κυρώσεις στις ομάδες που επέλεξαν να αγωνιστούν στο Eurocup.

Η FIBA δικαιώθηκε τελικά από το δικαστήριο του Μονάχου και πλέον έχει το δικαίωμα να επιβάλλει κυρώσεις στις λίγκες, ομοσπονδίες και ομάδες, οι οποίες δεν ακολουθούν τα όσα αυτή ορίζει.

Η Ευρωλίγκα πάντως ανακοίνωσε επίσημα τις ομάδες που θα αγωνιστούν στο Eurocup. Αναμένουμε την συνέχεια, όχι τόσο για τις ομάδες που θα αγωνιστούν στο Champions League που είναι λίγο πολύ γνωστές (και ο καθένας μπορεί να κρίνει ποια διοργάνωση θα είναι "δυνατότερη", στα χαρτιά τουλάχιστον), αλλά για την αντίδραση της ΦΙΜΠΑ...

Andrei Kirilenko: 'Nizhny, Khimki, Lokomotiv and Zenit will be all disqualified'
President of Russian federation with a strong reaction to the decision of Russian teams to play in Eurocup. But he can't kick the four teams out of VTB League


Four Russian teams have decided to play in Eurocup but Andrei Kirilenko, President of Russian basketball federation, reacted immediately with a strong statement. Kirilenko said that Nizhny, Khimki, Zenit and Lokomotiv Kuban will be all disqualifed from competitions held by Russian federation:



"Khimki, Lokomotiv, Zenit and Nizhny Novgorod will be disqualified from all competions held under Russian Basketball Federation. All transfers from and to these clubs will be prohibited. It's a sad fact, but we will apply those measures."

Kirilenko also admitted that all Russian players of the four teams will be prohibited to play in NT. VTB League is not organized by the Russian Federation so the teams will continue to play in the league.
