This Wednesday saw the presentation of the Champions Cup, a competition organized by the ACB Foundation that will kick off its second season this October, with Unicaja Baloncesto once again taking part. Representatives from the 20 participating teams—including our ambassador Berni Rodríguez and team member Merche—were the stars of an event that highlighted the importance of inclusive sports. The team will play on March 13 and 14 in the second round in Zaragoza.

Unicaja Baloncesto and Movistar, a leading company and industry leader, have renewed their sponsorship agreement, under which they will continue their partnership for the twelfth consecutive year. The partnership extends to the men’s and women’s first teams, as well as the Malaga-based club’s youth academy.

Unicaja player Amine Noua is the subject of the main interview in "Somos Un Equipo" magazine. The French player tells us about his move to Málaga, his early days in sport, his roots and his family ties.

Unicaja Mijas was unable to secure a victory in its league debut at Martín Urbano, falling 66–76 to Joventut Badalona. The Catalan team set a very fast pace for much of the game and at one point enjoyed a comfortable lead. However, the Mijas team never stopped fighting and mounted a strong comeback in the final stretch that put the visitors in a tight spot.

Unicaja earned its first win of the season in the Liga Endesa after defeating a tenacious MoraBanc Andorra 92-84. The team, despite holding the lead throughout the game, put together a well-rounded performance on both ends of the court, thwarting any attempt at a comeback by the visitors thanks to their excellent shooting from two-point range (78%, the second-best mark in their Liga Endesa history). Ignas Brazdeikis was the standout player of the game (19 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 27 PIR).
