The Barcelona basketball club announced on Thursday February 24 that it had “decided not to go to Saint Petersburg” to play the next day in Euroleague basketball after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite the “guarantees” of the organizers of the competition. The Catalan club was to fly Thursday to play Friday in Saint Petersburg, then Sunday in Moscow against CSKA. He had previously received a message from the Euroleague telling him that it “had to” play these matches. The Euroleague basketball has scheduled a meeting on Friday to “analyze the course of events and take the necessary measures”. She wishes to continue for the moment to respect the planned schedule “unless there is a risk for the integrity of the teams” or a “governmental decision preventing the normal progress of the matches”.
