Latvian basketball club 'Rīgas zeļļi' is preparing for a major milestone in its short history — in the upcoming season, the team will compete in the EuroCup for the first time, Europe's second-strongest club basketball competition. This marks a significant step for a club that was only founded three years ago.

International debut

Participation in the EuroCup means 'Rīgas zeļļi' will face European clubs in this prestigious tournament for the first time. It represents another stage in the club's development, having grown in a relatively short period to a level that allows it to compete in a serious international competition.

Domestic ambitions as well

Beyond its international debut, 'Rīgas zeļļi' also plans to pursue top results at both the national and regional levels. The club aims to demonstrate its competitiveness on multiple fronts simultaneously, reflecting an ambitious approach to the new season.

Having been established just three years ago, the club continues its rapid growth, seeking to strengthen its position both in the local basketball scene and on the European stage.
