After the second game, FC Barcelona is set to return to Europe on October 12, putting an end to its Euroleague Basketball Asia Tour.

"Having FC Barcelona represent us on the Euroleague Basketball Asian Tour is another great example of the commitment of our clubs to create synergies with basketball fans around the world," Jordi Bertomeu, President and CEO of Euroleague Basketball, said. "This ongoing process of creating international links within our sport has included many Euroleague Basketball clubs already, and with the help of our partner in Asia, OCEANS Marketing, we are confident that this cultural and sporting exchange will continue getting stronger and stronger."

"As our exclusive partnership with Euroleague Basketball continues to blossom and the love for basketball continues to grow, we would like to express our genuine excitement on putting on another great tour and reaching parts of Asia where basketball is cherished and adored," Mr. Shoto Zhu, CEO & Founder of OCEANS Marketing, said. "We look forward to carrying on this relationship for years to come and once again getting to embrace the people, the players, the fans and the staff that make this game and this league so great."

"We are proud to be chosen to represent European basketball in such an important event as the Euroleague Basketball Asia Tour,"Mr. Joan Blade, FC Barcelona basketball Managing Director, said. "A global competition such as the Turkish Airlines Euroleague and a global club such as FC Barcelona will join forces to develop the sport of basketball in China and Taiwan. We know that there are lots of Barça fans in China and Taiwan, and it will be a pleasure for us to share with them what our club represents and our values in both games, as well as in all the other activities that we are preparing during our stay there."

FC Barcelona's week-long presence in Asia forms part of the Euroleague Basketball World Tour, featuring five teams playing four events on four continents this autumn. The World Tour begins with Turkish Airlines Euroleague champion Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv headlining the Intercontinental Cup with two games against 2014 FIBA Liga de las Americas champion Flamengo of Brazil in late September in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Maccabi continues then to play the Euroleague US Tour with two more games, against its former coach David Blatt and the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 5 and two nights later against the Brooklyn Nets, on the same day that Barcelona debuts in Hangzhou, China. The next night, October 8, the NBA Global Games lands in the German capital as Alba Berlin hosts the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, who then continue on to face Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul in Turkey on October 11, hours after Barcelona becomes the first Euroleague team ever to play in Taiwan.
