The groups for the FIBA EuroCup Women season 2025-26 were drawn in Munich. Thanks to our previous results, our team was placed as first seed.
Women's basketball team NKA Universitas Pécs ran a very good season, as the girls won bronze medals in both the national championship and the Hungarian Cup, so international participation will not be missed in the 2025-26 season: we will once again compete in FIBA EuroCup Women. Zeljko Dokic's team was placed in Group C alongside the Israeli Elitzur Ramla, the winner of the Lointek Gernika Bizkaia (ESP) - Pas Giannina (GRE) European Cup qualifier, and the Portuguese team Sportiva/AzorisHotels.
Péter Éles, sports director of NKA Universitas Pécs, stated to Pécs Aktuál:
They drew us as first seed, but compared to that we got into a pretty tough group! The Israeli Elitzur Ramla came from the second pot: we know each other well, we have met twice in the last four years, and although it is certain that this team will be a tough opponent again, we usually win against them in Pécs. From the third seed we got a Portuguese team, the Sportiva/AzorisHotels, in whose case the journey maybe will be much more complicated than the game itself, as their home is the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The distance is nearly four thousand kilometers… And from the fourth seed, there would have been easier opponents, compared to this, the winner of the game between the Spanish Lointek Gernika Bizkaia and the Greek PAS Giannina will be in our group.
Our sports director added:
We will start the season ahead with a good and strong team. Last season we reached the top sixteen, we are confident that we can move forward now and fight our way into the quarter-finals! I believe we are capable of that.
As can be seen in the attached chart, the participating clubs are sorted into 12 groups of four teams for the Regular Season. Following the Qualifiers at the end of September, the group stage will begin in the second week of October.
