MUNICH (Germany) - The list of participating clubs for the upcoming EuroCup Women season has been adjusted following the withdrawal of LDLC Asvel Feminin.
FIBA Europe was informed about the withdrawal of the French club after last week's announcement of the lineup for the 2025-26 campaign.
This change affects the composition of both the Regular Season and the Qualifiers.
To maintain a structured Qualifiers format with an even number of teams, last season's runners-up BAXI Ferrol will now enter the Regular Season directly, based on the EuroCup Women Regulations and the Club Competition Ranking of National Federations.
As a result, the number of Qualifiers pairings has been reduced from six to five, with Czech club SBS Ostrava now seeded. The winners of each tie will advance to the Regular Season.
The updated lineup of the Regular Season and the Qualifiers is as follows:
Clubs with direct spots in the Regular Season:
ELW Qualifiers – Loser pairing 1 ELW Qualifiers – Loser pairing 2 ELW Qualifiers – Loser pairing 3 ELW Qualifiers – Loser pairing 4 ELW Qualifiers – Loser pairing 5 Besiktas Boa (TUR) Emlak Konut (TUR) Villeneuve d’Ascq LM (FRA) Charnay Basket (FRA) BLMA (FRA) UFAB 49 (FRA) Perfumerías Avenida (ESP) Hozono Global Jairis (ESP) Movistar Estudiantes (ESP) BAXI Ferrol (ESP) Magnolia Basket Campobasso (ITA) GEAS Basket (ITA) KP Brno (CZE) Levhartice Chomutov (CZE) NKA Universitas Pecs (HUN) InvestInTheWest Enea Gorzow (POL) Sleza Wroclaw (POL) MB Zaglebie Sosnowiec (POL) Castors Braine (BEL) Kangoeroes Mechelen (BEL) Basket Namur Capitale (BEL) Athinaikos Qualco (GRE) Panathinaikos A.C.
