Israeli Basketball League Ranked Ninth Best in Europe
The Israeli Basketball Premier League has been ranked as the ninth-best domestic league in Europe by Eurohoops, placing it ahead of Poland and behind Lithuania. The ranking comes as the Winner Cup tournament has begun and teams are preparing for the upcoming Premier League season.
Eurohoops noted that the ongoing situation in Israel should be reflected in the domestic league's standing. However, the article also acknowledged that Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Hapoel Jerusalem are among Europe's top clubs. The publication suggested that if the current situation concludes, Israel could potentially compete with Germany, currently ranked seventh, a scenario that seemed improbable just a few years ago.
The top of the Eurohoops ranking is led by the Spanish league, followed by the Turkish league in second place and the Greek league in third. The Italian league is fourth, the French league fifth, and the Adriatic League sixth. Germany is seventh, Lithuania eighth, Israel ninth, and Poland tenth.
