The curtain rises on the last season at La Fonteta vs. Veolia Towers Hamburg

Valencia Basket men's first team will kick off the last season at La Fonteta by hosting Veolia Towers Hamburg on Wednesday, October 2, at 20:30 (La Fonteta, live on Deportes por M+). This game marks the conclusion of the second round of the BKT EuroCup.

 

For the first time this season, the team will enjoy the support of its fans in a game that will serve as the initial introduction of the six new players to their audience and mark Pedro Martínez's return to the head coach position at La Fonteta after 2,665 days.

 

Valencia Basket aims to continue its strong historical record against German opponents at home. It will face an opponent with whom it has only one previous encounter: the single-elimination round of the EuroCup 2021-22, which ended in a 98-80 victory for Valencia.

 

Despite ongoing injury absences at the point guard position with Chris Jones and Sergio De Larrea sidelined, Croatian Goran Filipovic could play his first minutes as a Valencia player in this game. After starting the competition with an away victory, Valencia Basket enters this game in third place in Group B.
