Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague President and CEO:

— I’m honored to announce that the 2012 Eurocup Finals will be held at Basketball Center Khimki Moscow Region from April 14 to 15. We are proud that the tenth Eurocup final will take place in Russia, a country with great basketball tradition. We made this decision reasoning from the long-lived experience of cooperation with BC Khimki and I’m proud of this fact. I would like to pay special gratitude to BC Khimki General Manager Mr. Victor Bychkov.

The Eurocup is the second European tournament, but that doesn't mean it is not important. In the Eurocup there are always Euroleague-level teams participating. This competition features a lot of participants, 19 countries, it’s a huge territory and for us it’s very important to be there. Last year due to TV broadcasting Eurocup arrived to 84 countries. Khimki is a club of a very high level and I’m dead sure that the 2012 Eurocup Finals will also feature a high level. So, now we have a great event that will take place in Khimki.

Victor Bychkov, BC Khimki General Manager:

— We are glad to welcome Mr. Bertomeu to Khimki and solemnly announce that the 2012 Eurocup Finals will be held in Khimki Moscow Region, Russia. During several years Khimki has been one of the best Russian clubs, moreover, we have experience in holding such sports events, for instance the Russian Cup Final and other tournaments. For sure, we face an event of such level for the first time. I'm sure all the club’s officials and staff will do their best for a successful event.

In all tournaments Khimki’s main sponsor is Promsvyazbank. Now it’s early to speak about the distribution of financial commitments. We try to find responsible, competent and qualified people who will take the appropriate liability. We work with our partners and we appreciate their support and attention.
