Gran Canaria has a guaranteed ticket for the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague 2023/24 if they agree to exchange it. But the Claretian club is analyzing the situation in search of greater institutional support, which will entail more economic resources, in order to have a sufficient cushion with which to face such an undertaking.
The victory against Turk Telekom in the final of the 7Days EuroCup 2022/23, played at the Gran Canaria Arena, automatically allows that champion of the secondary competition to move up a level, which would make Granca the fourth Spanish in contention, but the process should be reaffirmed in just two months.
Sotiris Vetakis the news advanced, also confirmed by donatas urbonas.
The precedent for the Gran Canarias in the highest European competition, in the 2018/19 season, left a bad taste in our mouths. Only eight wins in thirty games and a dangerous drag for the ACB, where they were 12th and did not step on the playoffwhich also involved careful planning by the players and the coach. The high demand of the Euroleague, increasingly even and with a calendar that ends up penalizing the teams with the least budget in their national leagues, will be valued internally at the Las Palmas clubwith Sitapha Savané at the helm, in the near future with institutions, sponsors and other interested parties. If Valencia Basket resigns (13th this season) he starts as a favorite to win an invitation, with options also for the aforementioned Turk from Ankara.
