Euroleague Basketball official statement

In light of the recent articles published in several media outlets, originated by the publication of a post from the "Dubai Media Office" on the social media platform X, stating that the BKT Eurocup team Wolves Vilnius will play all its home games in Dubai, Euroleague Basketball would like to clarify the following:

• Euroleague Basketball has never received any request from Wolves Vilnius to play any of its BKT Eurocup home games in Dubai's soil.

• Therefore, all home games of the BC Wolves in the 2023-24 BKT Eurocup shall be played in Vilnius as already scheduled.

• If a formal request is received, Euroleague Basketball will duly evaluate all the implications not only for Wolves Vilnius but for all BKT Eurocup.
