“Given the long-standing relationship between the basketball clubs of Russia and Serbia and the respect for Serbian basketball – historically one of the strongest in Europe – as well as the fact that many players and coaches Prominent Serbians played in the VTB United League, all this made it possible to agree on the participation of Partizan “and “Megi” in the superbowl of the league.

The participation of Serbian clubs in the next super cup is of great importance for the international agenda of our clubs, which the league is now trying to support.
