Paris approved by the NBA: a spot in the Europe project! | OneFootball

Paris has been officially selected among the 12 cities for the NBA Europe project, an initiative that could revolutionize basketball on the Old Continent. The announcement was made by George Aivazoglou, General Manager of the NBA for Europe and the Middle East, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. This is a strong sign of the growing importance of the French capital in the world of sports.

The idea of an NBA Europe is no longer just a fan’s fantasy. With Paris on the list of 12 selected cities, the prospect of a European league modeled after the American one is gaining momentum. This selection rewards the efforts of the capital, already host to several NBA games at the Accor Arena and boasting a growing passion for basketball.

Behind this decision, the NBA sees a strategic market, supported by a youth eager for stars like Victor Wembanyama or Giannis Antetokounmpo. If the project comes to fruition, Paris could become a powerhouse in world basketball, a bridge between American culture and European talent.
