International basketball competition takes place in Russia, featuring team "Minsk"
The VTB United League, a premier basketball competition in Europe, is set to welcome potential new participants from Belarus in the upcoming seasons. The exact number of clubs seeking to join the league is currently unknown and will be determined over the next few months.
One of the potential candidates for the in-season tournament could be the basketball club "Minsk". Interestingly, despite pausing its participation in the adult championship, "Minsk" still has its junior team in the VTB United League's Youth League.
The plans for this expansion were confirmed by Ilona Korstin, the General Director of the VTB United League, who mentioned the organisation's intention to organise an in-season tournament with international clubs.
Currently, the league consists of 11 teams from Russia. However, with the Belarusians planning a return to the VTB United League, the competition is set to become even more diverse and exciting.
Sergei Kushchenko, the President of the VTB United League, has confirmed that some Belarusian clubs have expressed interest in participating in the tournament from the 2025/26 season.
The addition of these new teams is expected to expand the league's calendar, with games taking place almost daily. At least one top match is planned each week in the VTB United League.
The regular season schedule for the VTB United League has already been drawn up, with the league games set to provide thrilling action throughout the season.
It's worth noting that the details about a proposed in-season tournament for foreign teams in the 2025/26 VTB United League season are currently scarce. More specific sources would be needed to provide detailed information on such a tournament.
Despite this, the prospect of Belarusian clubs returning to the VTB United League and the potential in-season tournament promises an exciting future for the league and its fans.
The basketball club "Minsk" may participate in the in-season tournament of the VTB United League, bringing more diversity to the premier sports competition in Europe. With the intention to organize this international tournament from the 2025/26 season, the league is expected to become even more engaging for sports enthusiasts, including basketball fans.
