The 11th edition of the Basketball Champions League is now underway. This morning, the draw for the BCL regular season—a competition that has established itself as the second most important in Europe—was held at the Patrick Baumann House of Basketball in Mies, Switzerland. Unicaja, which is seeking its third championship, has been placed in Group E alongside Pallacanestro Reggiana (Italy), BC Juventus Utena (Lithuania), and BK KVIS Pardubice (Czech Republic). Sports director Juanma Rodríguez analyzes the group.

Unicaja center Olek Balcerowski and Unicaja Mijas power forward Carmen Guillén visited the kids in the second session of the Fundación Unicaja Basketball Camp on Wednesday for a day full of fun.
 

Sofía Arcos (1.80 meters, 23 years old), a product of the club’s youth academy, returns to Unicaja Mijas after playing a key role in Maristas Coruña’s promotion to the Liga Femenina Challenge. The Málaga-born power forward, who played for the club until 2022, has just had her best season yet, averaging 16.1 efficiency points.

The Basketball Champions League is headed into its 11th season, starting with the Qualification Round Tournaments and Regular Season draw on Wednesday. Unicaja is included in Pot 1 and country protection applies to the Regular Season stage of the Draw, meaning that clubs cannot be drawn in the same group with another club from their country.

Sofía Galerón will play her third season in Málaga after helping the Los Guindos team reach the LF Challenge promotion round two years in a row. The power forward has delivered standout performances this season, such as the 26 efficiency points she recorded against CB Santfeliuenc, which earned her a spot on the All-Match Team for Week 19.
