# Eurobasket.com

Eurobasket.com, also commonly referred to as "Eurobasket News", is a basketball-centered website that provides coverage of every professional and semi-professional club basketball league from around the world, as well as many amateur level leagues. Although it is primarily focused on Europe's club basketball leagues, the website also hosts several different regional sections for Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Northern America, and Oceania. Eurobasket.com, which is updated on a daily basis, covers basketball in 196 different countries and in 435 different leagues around the world, with over 940,000 basketball player and basketball coach profiles.

## History

Eurobasket.com is the most well-known website about international basketball coverage. Originally, it was established in 1995, as Euroster.com, in Canada, by Marek Wojtera. Wojtera, is a Polish immigrant, former basketball player, and a computer programmer. Two years later, in 1997, it changed its name to Eurobasket.com. In 2010, it was incorporated into the Hong Kong based web programming company Sports I.T. Solutions, and the two companies became partners in 2019.

## Overview

The site's news content is provided by its full-time staff, and over 100 sports media correspondents that are located around the world. Eurobasket.com is known as the source of the most complete basketball coverage and data collection about basketball. The site also hosts a database of over 940,000 basketball coaches and players, both active and retired, from around the world, with some of that content being accessible only through a paid subscription.

## Eurobasket Summer League

Eurobasket.com also operates the Eurobasket Summer League, which consists of annual three day basketball tournaments that take place in the United States. The summer league takes place in the five host venues of Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, and New York Metro Area, and also goes to the NCAA Women's Final Four. There are also European tours, where the players can be seen by more European scouts. The aim of the tournaments is to help unsigned free agents find professional basketball clubs overseas, and to that end, 767 former Eurobasket Summer League players were active on professional rosters, in 67 different countries during the 2019–20 basketball season. The summer league events, which cater to both men's and women's basketball players, have also hosted players from lesser known backgrounds, like players from NCAA Division III colleges for example. In order for the players to gain more exposure, the games are broadcast live on YouTube, and have received over 145,000 views since 2018.
