FIBA bans Russia from international, EuroLeague , and EuroCup Women competitions until further notice

On Tuesday, FIBA announced that Russia will be banned from all international competitions until further notice due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The ban includes, but isn’t limited to the Russian national basketball teams, 3x3 teams, professional teams in EuroLeague Women, EuroCup Women and officials.

Several Russian women’s professional teams like UMMC Ekaterinburg, will no longer be able to participate in EuroLeague Women this season. Their website has listed that their quarterfinals round will continue without Russian teams.

The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and 7Days EuroCup, are not operated by FIBA. However, EuroLeague Basketball, their parent organization, decided to suspend their Russian teams last Monday.
