Leaked! Meet Vasco’s completely revamped basketball squad | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama has finalized its basketball team roster for the South American League. The group, which will be led by coach Léo Figueiró, will consist of 11 players. The team composition combines the retention of an important core from last season with the addition of four new reinforcements, including athletes coming from direct rivals.

Vasco bets on retaining the core and new reinforcements

The management decided to renew the contracts of four athletes who were already at the club: Scheuer, Basílio, Alê, and Juan. They are joined by four new names who arrive to enhance the squad. They are: Guilherme Magna (formerly of Brasília), Elias (formerly of Fluminense), Lucas Zibecchi (formerly of Sorocaba), and Honorato (formerly of Flamengo).

The recruitment of players from rivals Flamengo and Fluminense demonstrates the strength of Vasco's project in the market.

Strong Base also gains space in the team

Following the club's philosophy, the Strong Base will also have its place in the main team. Three young players who participated in the Basketball Development League (LDB) through the Vasco/Tijuca partnership were promoted and will be part of the professional squad: Italo, Jhonatan, and Geovani.

Coach Léo Figueiró will therefore have a balanced group in his hands, mixing the experience of the remaining players, the quality of the new signings, and the energy of young talents to pursue the South American competition title.
