The annual Adidas Next Generation Tournament (ANGT) will have three new host cities.

Paris (France), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and Podgorica (Montenegro) join Belgrade (Serbia) as the hosts of each ANGT Qualifying Tournament, the EuroLeague announced. The winner of each tournament will advance to the Final Four in Berlin, Germany, to compete for the ANGT title.

The first qualifying tournament will be held in Podgorica on January 26-28, with the tournament in Belgrade coming in second on March 1-3.

"A first-time ANGT qualifier outside continental Europe will come to Dubai from March 22 to 24, with local squad Dubai Basketball Academy as the event host. The tournament will be played at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, with a capacity for 17,000 spectators," the EuroLeague notes.

Dubai's Falcons Academy already participates in the ABA League U19 championship in the Balkans. This will be the team's first appearance on home soil.

The last qualifying tournament will be held in Paris on March 29-31, marking the first time the EuroLeague makes a return to the city since the Final Four was held back in 2010.
