The proposed lists of participating teams for the 2015-16 Turkish Airlines Euroleague and 2015-16 Eurocup have been reviewed by the members of the Euroleague Commercial Assets Executive Board following the criteria approved during the last ECA Shareholders Meeting, held on May 6 in Istanbul. The lists will be submitted to the ECA Shareholders Meeting for approval on July 8, 2015.
For the Euroleague, in addition to the 11 teams with A Licences the list is comprised of Limoges CSP as French League champion, Stelmet Zielona Gora as Polish League champion, Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade and Cedevita Zagreb as Adriatic League champion and runner-up, respectively, Khimki Moscow Region as Russian League runner-up (VTB United League), Brose Baskets Bamberg as German League champion and Dinamo Banco Di Sardegna Sassari as Italian League champion. The Board has also proposed to provisionally grant one B Licence to the Turkish League champion this summer (Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir) for the 2015-16 Euroleague season only. This direct qualification is conditional on the creation of a professional basketball league in Turkey over the next 12 months, as is already the case in all other Euroleague markets.
FC Bayern Munich, Strasbourg, Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar and Darussafaka Dogus Istanbul are the teams proposed to receive one-year wild cards to play in the 2015-16 Euroleague. The Board evaluated a number of different criteria before proposing the wild cards, including market growth strategy and the competitive standard of the team, amongst others.
The complete list of 2015-16 Turkish Airlines Euroleague teams, as voted by the majority of the Board members, is as follows:
