Barca and Real face off in NBA basketball: what innovative tactic do they introduce this time?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) and International Basketball Federation (FIBA) are moving forward with plans to launch a Europe-based basketball league, with prominent clubs such as Real Madrid, Fenerbahce, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain suspected to participate. These teams, known for their strong basketball traditions and dedicated fanbases, could attract viewership and lend credibility to the new league.
However, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is currently facing a lockout situation, with no launch expected for the WNBA's proposed Europe-based basketball league in 2027 or 2028. The focus is on resolving the lockout, with the Players Association having opted out of the collective bargaining agreement in October 2024. The league and players have until October 31, 2025, to reach a new agreement, or a lockout, a halt to the entire championship, will begin.
It's important to note that the WNBA's salary negotiations and lockout situation are independent of the NBA and FIBA's plans for a Europe-based basketball league. The new league, initially planned to have 16 teams, is intended to compete with the EuroLeague.
Existing arenas across Europe are set to be used for the new league, although the exact number of teams participating and the involvement of clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain remain undisclosed. The launch of the league in 2027 is considered 'undeniably ambitious' due to the challenges that still need to be addressed.
The new league, while not directly related to the WNBA's lockout, is a significant development in the world of basketball. As plans progress, fans can look forward to exciting basketball action across Europe in the near future.
