Dubai Basketball Joins EuroLeague for 2025 Season in Historic First

In a landmark move for regional sport, Dubai Basketball has officially been invited to join the EuroLeague, Europe’s top-tier professional basketball competition, marking the UAE’s debut in one of the world’s most prestigious hoops arenas.

Fresh off an impressive first season in the Adriatic Basketball Association League, where the team soared into the playoff semi-finals, Dubai Basketball now steps onto an even bigger stage. Starting later this year, they’ll go head-to-head with powerhouse clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.

The EuroLeague features 20 elite teams from across 10 countries, offering high-intensity matchups and a format that builds toward a dramatic Final Four showdown. Dubai’s inclusion underscores both the team’s rising potential and the city’s growing influence in the global sports landscape.

With world-class facilities, a passionate fan base, and a rapidly expanding sports culture, Dubai is poised to bring its own flair to the European basketball scene, and the 2025 season promises to be one for the history books.
