Honorary President of the VTB United League Sergei Ivanov expressed hope that new clubs will join the league, which, in his opinion, is popular in Europe.
The United League All-Star Game will take place on Sunday at the VTB Arena in Moscow. Watch the live broadcast of the event now on the channel.
— Ten days ago, all tickets for the All-Star Game were sold out. What is the secret of success?
– Basketball. It’s not just the league management, of which I’m not part, that has done a good job. The largest indoor sports hall in Moscow is completely filled. It shows that people love basketball. And they love it not only as a sports game, but also as a vacation and prom. It’s a show for young people, a festive atmosphere. Now we play “basketball” regularly. Basketball is the best ball game on planet Earth. In my opinion, there is nothing to complain about here.
-Who are you going to root for?
— For beautiful basketball, for the show. The All-Star Game is not a sporting event, but above all a spectacle dedicated to basketball. The VTB United League is 15 years old. It’s a very short period of time, but in that time 35 teams played in the league, which a lot of people forget. But in the famous Euroleague there are only 29 of them. It turns out that the VTB United League has become popular in Europe in a short time. That means everyone likes it, everyone wants to play with us, there are good conditions here. We will develop further. I hope we will have new teams,” Ivanov said on .
The teams of coaches Emil Rajkovic and Javier Pascual met on the field during the All-Star Game of the VTB United League. The team that wins the match will receive 3 million rubles. During the gala evening, there will also be three-point and dunk competitions.
