L’Europe Cup is the last bullet in the chamber of Basketball Girona to compete next season at continental level after this afternoon the Champions League announced its participants and did not include Marc Gasol’s club. Invitations to both competitions had been requested from Fontajau. With the Champions League ruled out, everything goes to the Europe Cup, which in fact is the tournament where the Girona side have always had the best chance of being admitted. The final decision should arrive at the beginning of July.
At the moment, the Euroleague has confirmed three ACB participants for next season (Barça, Madrid and Baskonia). Valencia, which has been left out, goes on to compete in the Eurocup alongside Gran Canaria and Joventut. The third continental competition, the Champions League, will have a minimum of four representatives from the highest Spanish division, Manresa, UCAM Múrcia, Unicaja and La Laguna Tenerife, and another could be added if Andorra passes the stage prior In the coming days, it will be confirmed who will compete in the FIBA Europe Cupwhere Girona has high hopes.
Goodbye to Eric Vila
Today, Basketball Girona has also had two names of its own. Eric Vila, so far the only Girona player in the squad, seems to have his hours numbered. According to the SER chain, the club would have paid him the compensation stipulated in his contract to terminate the year that was left on his contract. So far Básquet Girona has only confirmed Goloman’s resignation. Players like Iroegbu or Yves Pons have a contractbut it is also not clear that they will continue.
Durham’s happiness
The other proper name is that of Aljami Durham, signed on Saturday from Hamburg, and who is expected to be one of the reference points for Basketball Girona next season. In statements provided by the club itself, the escort affirms that “my game brings what is needed, be it scoring, helping teammates in defense, leadership… in every game I would do anything to win. I am a passionate player and in this sense I like to encourage my teammates and fans».
Durham also remembers that he started playing basketball at “three or four years old” and that his dream has always been to be a “professional” in this sport. “My goal is always to improve”, assured the new Girona player, who is impatient to start the new season in Fontajau.
