For instance, the team of Shengelia has already hold the first training match and lost to “Gipuzkoa Basket” 52:67. They will have the next match on September 9 against “Zaragoza”, former club of Viktor Sanikidze and Giorgi Shermadini.

The Spanish Basketball League starts on October 5, the Basque club plays against “Barcelona” in the first round. As for Euro League, “Laboral Kutxa” will hold the initial match on October 15 against “Neptunas” (Lithuania).
