NBA to launch Euro league in two years: which countries will join the project.

The NBA plans to finalize franchise fees in the coming months with the aim of launching the project in Europe within two years. This was announced by NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum. Earlier, the NBA and FIBA announced their intention to create a new professional basketball league in Europe, which will serve as an alternative to the EuroLeague.

According to inkorr.com: According to Tatum, the NBA is actively working to secure franchises, the cost of which ranges from 500 million to 1 billion dollars, and is also engaging analytical companies to develop a business plan. The main task is to launch the project within the next two years and assess the level of interest from the NBA and FIBA.

About the clubs and project deployment

Tatum noted that the new league may include both existing teams and new clubs, as well as football organizations interested in investing in the basketball sector. The first phase of the project aims to expand to 10-12 cities, including the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, and possibly Greece.

The initiative by the NBA and FIBA to create a new professional basketball league in Europe is gaining momentum. This project is expected to significantly expand the geography of basketball popularity in Europe, attract new viewers, and open more opportunities for young athletes.
