Eurohoops Ranks Israeli Basketball League Ninth Best in Europe
Eurohoops, a European basketball publication, has ranked the top ten domestic basketball leagues in Europe, placing Israel's Premier League in ninth position. The ranking places Israel just above Poland and below Lithuania. The publication noted that the ongoing situation in Israel should be reflected in the local league's standing, while also acknowledging the presence of top European clubs like Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Hapoel Jerusalem.
Eurohoops suggested that if the current "madness" in Israel concludes, the Israeli league could potentially compete with Germany, currently ranked seventh, a scenario previously considered impossible. The article highlighted that just a few years ago, such a possibility seemed out of reach for Israeli basketball.
The top of the Eurohoops ranking is dominated by Spain, followed by Turkey in second place and Greece in third. Italy secured the fourth spot, France fifth, and the Adriatic League sixth. Germany is ranked seventh, Lithuania eighth, Israel ninth, and Poland tenth.
The ranking comes as the Winner Cup has already begun, and Israeli Premier League teams are preparing for the upcoming season with preseason drills.
