MaxBet to remain EuroLeague's Premium Betting Partner in Serbia and Montenegro through 2026 - The deal extends the partnership which first began in 2021 Euroleague Basketball and MaxBet will continue their fruitful partnership for another two seasons. The start of the prestigious competition was marked by a special event for media representatives at MaxBet Sportcaffe, where attendees had the opportunity to have fun and test their basketball knowledge. MaxBet first joined the family of sponsors for the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the BKT EuroCup as the Premium Betting Partner in Serbia and Montenegro for the 2021-22 season. As such, the two sides have locked in their commitment to one another for a fifth season. The relationship between Euroleague Basketball and MaxBet is a perfect fit for the long-term strategic interests of both parties. The exclusivity and lasting partnership with Europe's premier basketball competitions help raise MaxBet's brand awareness as one of the leading gaming operators in Central and Eastern Europe. "Collaboration with the EuroLeague is not only a strategic step for MaxBet, but also a strong signal of our commitment to further enhancing the quality of offerings for sports fans. The upcoming season will be marked by even more exciting moments, and our users will have the opportunity to enjoy exclusive promotions and prizes, as well as to become part of a unique sports experience during the EuroLeague and EuroCup. I want to thank the EuroLeague for the trust and support we have received so far. I expect that we will continue to develop and strengthen our collaboration together, taking advantage of all the opportunities that premium status offers, in order to enrich our users' experience and contribute to the popularization of basketball in the markets of Serbia and Montenegro," said Savo Bakmaz, CEO of MaxBet. "Our previous experiences with MaxBet have been incredibly positive, so it is a pleasure to partner with one of the leaders in the betting and gaming business once again," said Gawain Davies, Euroleague Basketball Chief Commercial Officer. "Serbia and Montenegro remain two key markets for Euroleague Basketball. MaxBet have been a great partner for Euroleague Basketball, and we look forward to working together to deliver value for our customers in this market" As the Premium Betting Partner, MaxBet will have a prominent on-court presence in EuroLeague and EuroCup games in Serbia and Montenegro. That presence includes engaging local fans with contests and promotions involving EuroLeague merchandise and game tickets. In accordance with the agreement, MaxBet, whose network includes more than 400 gaming locations in addition to online channels, will soon release a new enhanced package of advertising rights both on court and digital, too.

2024-25 season to mark the EuroLeague’s 25th anniversary A Season-Long Tribute to the Past, Present, and Future It was the year 2000 when the EuroLeague came to fruition. Later that year, on October 15, the first-ever game of the modern EuroLeague was played, with Real Madrid hosting Olympiacos Piraeus. After 24 seasons filled with endless iconic moments, the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague campaign marks a historic milestone as the league enters its 25th anniversary. This season will be a celebration of the EuroLeague's rich history, legendary moments, and exciting future, all while showcasing the best talent on the court. A season-long series of events will pay tribute to the legacy of the league and its clubs, honoring the players, coaches, and all those who have helped build the league into a global basketball powerhouse. Throughout this landmark season, Euroleague Basketball will recognize the contributions of its entire family – from past and present players to coaches and fans. These celebrations will honor the pivotal moments that have shaped the league, while also looking ahead to the next 25 years of growth and success. To commemorate this special occasion, a unique 25th Anniversary logo has been unveiled. The design maintains the iconic orange-colored ball with the 'e' of the EuroLeague logo proudly emblazoned on it, representing the essence of the EuroLeague brand while integrating shapes that form the number "25". This modern design reflects the EuroLeague's storied history and its bright future, with the disjointed shapes symbolizing the ongoing evolution of the league. The logo also hints at an infinity symbol (∞), representing the endless excitement it continues to deliver to millions of fans worldwide. The anniversary celebrations officially tipped off with the release of a short film titled "Where’s the Party?" — a comedic tribute featuring 29 active and former players and coaches. This is the first time such a large group of EuroLeague legends have come together to reflect on some of the most iconic moments in the league's history. Set at a fictional anniversary party, the film humorously portrays the EuroLeague’s top figures trying to attend the celebration, highlighting both legends of the game and current players who are poised to shape the future of the league. “Since its inception, the EuroLeague has witnessed historic moments with the brightest stars of pan-European basketball. Now, it's time to recognize these achievements while looking ahead to the future. Our goal is to make this season truly memorable, staying true to our mission of bringing the most competitive basketball to millions of fans around the world,” stated Dejan Bodiroga, President of Euroleague Basketball. #EuroLeague25 #ONLY25
