The "Dubai project" continues to unfold, and today, the ABA League Assembly got together and received a presentation from BC Dubai, which is looking to enter European competitions.

According to an official announcement, the shareholders of the Adriatic League were quite warm to the possibility of Dubai's involvement in the ABA League after a presentation by the Arabic team.

Negotiations were made for Dubai to start joining the competition with the 2024-25 season in a long-term deal. Although the reception was positive, the ultimate decision was not reached during today's meeting.

Deliberations are set to continue on the 19th of March, 2024, and a decision will be finalized "in the shortest time possible."

The matter of Dubai's involvement in the ABA League as a jumping-off point for European basketball has been widely discussed since the end of last year. Lately, the idea of Dubai becoming a pilot team in the EuroCup has gained traction.
