Jorge Garbajosa has been elected as the new president of FIBA Europe. The until now president of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) will now be the highest representative in European basketball. Garbajosa will immediately occupy this position and will leave the position of president of the Spanish body vacant, where his successor will be elected at least in the period that runs until 2024, when there will be other elections.
