Shock in Argentine basketball: Obras to sell place, River could buy | OneFootball

Argentine basketball was shaken this Thursday by a report that began circulating from the specialized program 3×3 Radio. According to journalist Fabián Pérez, Obras Sanitarias may have signed a document expressing its intention to sell its spot in the National Basketball League.

The news caused a strong reaction within the sports world, especially because of Obras’ historic importance in the competition and the possible arrival of River Plate as a new player in the top division.

During the broadcast, Pérez explained that the deal would be linked exclusively to men’s basketball. So far, no details have emerged about the future of the women’s team or other sports disciplines at the Buenos Aires club.

At the same time, the outlet itself later clarified that the intention to sell does not automatically mean that Obras will not play in the next National League season.

River’s emergence as a potential buyer also sparked excitement. The Núñez club has a long history in Argentine basketball, although it has not competed in the national elite for years.

A move that shakes the National League

Obras Sanitarias is one of the most traditional institutions in Argentine basketball and is usually regarded as one of the historic clubs of the national sport. The possibility of selling its spot raises multiple questions about the future landscape of the League.

In recent years, various franchises and clubs have gone through economic reorganization processes that resulted in the transfer of league spots or structural changes within the competitions organized by the Club Association.

So far, there have been no official statements from Obras Sanitarias, River Plate, or the National League regarding the information reported by 3×3 Radio.
