Unicaja Andalucía U-18 will take part of Adidas Next Generation Tournament

Euroleague Basketball has announced this morning the participants in the Adidas Next Generation Junior Tournament that this season will have 24 teams that will play the qualification for the final in Cologne (parallel to the Euroleague Final Four) in three venues: Valencia, where it will be the Unicaja Andalusia team, Munich and Belgrade. This prestigious tournament brings together the best quarries in Europe.

To reach the ANGT Finals in Cologne, teams will first compete in three-day Qualifiers held in Valencia, Spain; Munich, Germany; and Belgrade, Serbia. Each Qualifier will feature eight teams, of which the first placed team earns an automatic berth to the Finals. Five additional teams – including some of the best performers in the qualifiers - will receive wildcard invitations to challenge for the U18 continental crown. The 24 sides include the U18 squads from eight EuroLeague and nine EuroCup participants.


The first qualifier – in Valencia, Spain, from December 27 to 29, 2020 – will feature host Valencia Basket, 2016 ANGT champion FC Barcelona, Herbalife Gran Canaria and Unicaja Malaga, all from Spain, as well as LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne and Nanterre 92 from France, ratiopharm Ulm from Germany, and Umana Reyer Venice from Italy.

 

Unicaja Andalucía U-18, led by Antonio Herrera, returns to this first-level European tournament, where it will have the presence of players who, despite their youth, have already debuted with the first team, such as Rafa Santos or Yannick Nzosa.


The second qualifier – in Munich, Germany, from January 22 to 24, 2021 – includes 2015 and 2019 ANGT champion Real Madrid and Casademont Zaragoza, both from Spain, as well as Basket Brno from the Czech Republic, 2010 and 2017 ANGT champion CFBB Paris from France, hosts FC Bayern Munich from Germany, Promitheas Patras from Greece, Stellazzurra Rome from Italy, and 2003 and 2007 ANGT champion Zalgiris Kaunas from Lithuania.


The capital of Serbia will host the third qualifier from February 21 to 23, 2021. Partizan NIS Belgrade, 2014 ANGT champion Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade and fellow Serbian side Mega SoccerBet Belgrade, Buducnost VOLI Podgorica from Montenegro, Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana from Slovenia, Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar from Russian Federation, Maccabi Tel Aviv from Israel and U-BT Cluj Napoca from Romania make up the slate for the Belgrade event.
