Leaders from Spanish basketball convened on Tuesday to jointly present the 26/27 seasons for both the men’s and women’s leagues.
The event, held in Madrid, marked the first time the leagues have been presented together, prompting Jaime Fernández to question why it hadn’t happened before.
Thirty-two representatives from clubs in the Endesa League and the Women’s Endesa League attended, celebrating a partnership that José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes described as “the best in Europe.” The presentation included a gala hosted by Eva Soriano and Sergio Perela, and was also the first time Endesa CEO Gianni Armani officiated at the opening ceremony. Leaders emphasized the shared values between Endesa and basketball, noting the sport’s ability to connect 27 Spanish cities and one in Andorra.
Federation and league presidents Elisa Aguilar and Antonio Martín shared a microphone to state that “Spanish basketball is one,” highlighting the ongoing coordination between organizations that supports the sport’s growth. The event also featured players celebrating recent successes, including four members of the Spanish women’s national team who had won a bronze medal just 48 hours prior. Endesa has sponsored Spanish basketball for 15 years, a long-term partnership that has coincided with numerous achievements for the sport.
