Iyana Martin - Spar Girona
GUARD
Birth Date: January 18, 2006 (20 years old) Height: 5ft 9in / 174 cm
The buzz around Iyana Martin as one of the top rising stars on the continent is now being matched by the Spanish guard living up to expectations. With a season of both EuroLeague and EuroCup Women on her resume, she'll be a driving force for Girona in the wake of her big switch from Avenida. Offensively excellent and always intense, she will breathe fire.
Ivana Dojkic - Umana Reyer Venezia
GUARD
Birth Date: December 24, 1997 (28 years old) Height: 5ft 11in / 180 cm
The Reyer fans will be relieved that Ivana Dojkic has extended and will remain at the club. She was one of their top contributors last season and will be so again. The guard has big quality and experience, and if the Italian side need a player for the clutch, then the Croatian will most likely be the first to step up and take on that responsibility.
Zala Friskovec - Sopron Basket
GUARD
Birth Date: October 10, 1999 (26 years old) Height: 5ft 11in / 180 cm
Now a seasoned EuroLeague and EuroCup Women performer, the shooting ace will once again look to provide a big scoring touch for Sopron. Friskovec has stepped up with Slovenia in a leadership role and is showcasing the same qualities at club level. She can take games away from opponents with her shooting skills and smarts.
Paula Ginzo - Zabiny Brno
FORWARD
Birth Date: February 16, 1998 (28 years old) Height: 6ft 2in / 189 cm
The Spanish frontcourt performer put in a smart display last season in the competition with DVTK HUNTHERM as she excelled during her first season outside of her homeland. While her numbers were not spectacular at first glance, her value can be measured by the leadership, defense and physicality she offers under each basket.
Sedona Prince - Panathinaikos A.C.
CENTER
Birth Date: May 12, 2000 (26 years old) Height: 6ft 7in / 200 cm
If Panathinaikos A.C. get any kind of a cut and paste from their star center, then they will be in a great position to make the Regular Season. The returning Prince was phenomenal in 2025-26 as she posted a season double-double in EuroCup Women. Her size, strength, finishing power and rebounding excellence are tough to slow down.
Nausia Woolfolk - Kibirkstis-TOKS
GUARD
Birth Date: February 22, 1998 (28 years old) Height: 5ft 9in / 178 cm
After falling short in last season's Qualifiers, will the presence of Woolfolk be the difference-maker for Kibirkstis? The signs are good, with the guard having had an excellent 2025-26 campaign for Greek giants Olympiacos SFP. The guard netted 13.5 points per game in EuroLeague Women and then 20.5 per outing in EuroCup Women.
Stephanie Mavunga - Emlak Konut
FORWARD
Birth Date: February 24, 1995 (31 years old) Height: 6ft 3in / 191 cm
The highly experienced forward is such a lock to put up solid numbers in the competition and will be a marquee star for the Turkish newcomers. Her know-how and ability to both crash the glass and put points on the board will probably mean it is her contributions that provide the main thrust as the Turkish club look to make history.
Lorela Cubaj - Umana Reyer Venezia
CENTER
Birth Date: January 8, 1999 (27 years old) Height: 6ft 4in / 192 cm
The towering presence of Cubaj is such a key element of the way Reyer play at both ends of the court. Searching for a third straight Regular Season in EuroLeague Women, the imposing physical frame of the center is priceless. Strong defensively, both on the glass and blocking shots, the Italian national team star is a handful offensively too.
Feyonda Fitzgerald - Enea AZS Politechnika Poznan
GUARD
Birth Date: April 15, 1995 (31 years old) Height: 5ft 7in / 170 cm
A walking bucket, the veteran guard was on fire last season at Panathinaikos A.C. with 22.6 points per game in EuroCup Women. The second top scorer in the competition, she's now looking to step to EuroLeague Women with Poznan. Top of any opponents' scouting report, she brings great creative ability as well as her scoring touch.
Masa Jankovic - Sopron Basket
FORWARD
Birth Date: February 1, 2000 (26 years old) Height: 6ft 2in / 187 cm
After impressing in a big way in EuroCup Women with Lointek Bizkaia last season, the forward makes a switch to Hungary to help lead Sopron's bid to make the Regular Season. Jankovic has risen to prominence in the last couple of years, especially as a new leader for Serbia and will want to keep impressing with her play in the paint.
Matilde Villa - Umana Reyer Venezia
GUARD
Birth Date: December 4, 2004 (21 years old) Height: 5ft 8in / 172 cm
One of the brightest rising stars on the continent, Villa has been brilliant at youth level and has already made her mark on the women's national team with Italy. She played at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup recently and makes a return to Reyer, with fans no doubt loving that decision so they can see the playmaker dishing out dimes and making tough shots again.
Reka Lelik - Emlak Konut
GUARD / SMALL FORWARD
Birth Date: April 14, 1999 (27 years old) Height: 5ft 10in / 179 cm
Impressing in Berlin and playing a leading role in taking Hungary to the last eight of the Women's World Cup for the first time in 40 years, this underlines how important Lelik will be for her new club side. She can make shots from range, get downhill and has a nice eye for a pass. All of those qualities, along with her leadership, give Emlak Konut plenty to be excited about.
Eliska Joklova - Zabiny Brno
GUARD
Birth Date: October 1, 2001 (24 years old) Height: 6ft 0in / 182 cm
The guard will continue to suit up for Zabiny Brno and, after falling short in their quest to make the Regular Season last year, will try to inspire them to a place this time around. Joklova is a big presence and important player, underlined by recently top scoring for Czechia at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. She'll be a go-to in clutch moments.
