The next VTB United League basketball all-star game could take place in St. Petersburg or Sochi, the league president told . Sergei Kushchenko .
On Sunday, Javier Pascual’s team defeated Emil Rajkovic’s team with a score of 134:120 in the VTB United League all-star match, which took place in Moscow, at the VTB Arena.
— In recent years, the All-Star Game has been held at the VTB Arena. Are other cities or arenas being considered?
— We are considering this option. But let me remind you that when our clubs played in European competitions, we logistically could not do so anywhere other than Moscow during that period. We had a national team window at that time, a lot of stars were leaving.
And we played the first match in Sochi, because it was the first. But the logistics there are completely different, you have to transport everyone in one charter plane so that the players can reach their national team on time, there are a lot of details. But now that we no longer participate in European competitions, we are considering the possibility of holding the All-Star Game not only in Moscow.
– In which cities?
— We are currently considering St. Petersburg and, possibly, Sochi. Options will be explored. We will talk about it, I think, this summer,” Kushchenko told .
