Let's have a look behind the scenes

Besides the competition of the four amazing teams many other programs accompany the long weekend of FINAL4 in Sopron. We will provide an insight into it now.

Many prominent guests have come to our city from the basketball world for the event. This year we had the special honor to have the world federation's chief secretary Andreas Zagklis with his family pay a visit besides the leaders of the European organization of FIBA. The importance of this is underlined by the fact that he is the first ever FIBA Chief Secretary to watch the Euroleague Women FINAL4 at the venue! He noticeably cares about women's basketball, and he has spoken with great words about our city's hospitality, our club working on a high level at the reception in Nagycenk Saturday afternoon, where we have given our guests some insight into the life and work of the Greatest Hungarian, István Széchenyi.

There have been two gatherings on Friday and on Saturday. As Iván Bodrogváry FIBA Executive Committee member said,the main theme was the organization of the FINAL4. Both the representatives of the federation and the clubs have agreed that the current system is not sustainable for a long time, due to the shortage of time there is an extreme burden on all of the people who take part in the organization. They will examine the possibility of allowing to apply for hosting in October already, so it might happen that the final four will be held in a neutral location.

Before the semi-final on Friday night we had a commemorative celebration of the 2009 team that made it to the FINAL4 in the VIP section in the small gym. During the speeches of our club's honorary president Dr. István Fullér, and the current chief consul in Stuttgart, our club's all-time president, dr. János Berényi pictures of the glowing success ten years ago have appeared on the big screen. As dr. János Berényi said, he was allowed to come home for the event answering Zoltán Török's call with a ministerial permission, and he is happy to see, that the successful club in the creation of which he has actively taken part has made it to the top in the last two decades. At the end of the ceremony our team's former players who were present and the staff members were greeted with a flower, and wine, and dr. Ferenc Szalay, president of the Hungarian Basketball Federation also handed out a commemorative plaque.

Today the stakes will rise! Whether our team will be able to climb up to the pulpit, and who will be able to sit on the throne of Europe will be decided today. Seats are all sold out, but standing tickets are still available in small numbers at the venue. The gates open at 3 pm, everybody is welcome to join us!

We got into this season with a new head coach and a roster that was even younger than before, and the beginning of it was above all expectations

Who would have thought back in 2018 that a year later we would be able to host the Euroleague FINAL4 again? Well, the world set their eyes on Sopron again, because the decision-makers at FIBA thought that only the experience staff of our club would be able to organize the event on a high level within three weeks

Ki gondolta volna 2018-ban, hogy egy év múlva ismét mi rendezhetjük az Euroliga négyes döntőjét? Már pedig ismét Sopronra szegezte tekintetét a nagyvilág, miután a FIBA döntnökei úgy gondolták, egyesül a mi klubunk tapasztalt stábja tudja három hét alatt megszervezni magas színvonalon az eseményt

It is generally thought that it is always easier to get to the top than to stay there

Általános vélekedés, hogy a csúcsra mindig könnyebb felérni, mint ott maradni

Regarding the 2018 Euroleague Final every basketball enthusiast was preparing for celebration

A 2018-as FINAL4 döntője kapcsán ünnepre készült minden magyar kosárlabda barát! Először léphetett pályára magyar csapat az Euroliga elsőségért! A túloldalon egy kisebb világválogatott sorakozott fel, mely érvényre is juttatta nagyobb erejét a remekül küzdő csapatunkkal szemben

Even making it to the FINAL4 in 2018 was an incredible performance, not to mention that for the first time in club history we were able to host the top clubs of Euroleague and many important personalities of the basketball world

Már az is elképesztő teljesítmény volt, hogy 2018-ban ott lehettünk a FINAL4-ban, arról nem is beszélve, hogy fennállásunk során először láthattuk vendégül rendezőként az Euroliga top csapatait és a kosárlabda világ számos neves személyiségét

Két éve, március idusán felfoghatatlan siker kapujába érkeztünk

Two years ago at the ides of March we have come to the gates of an incomprehensible success

Gáspár Dávidot kértük fel, hogy értékelje első soproni szezonját

The league finals brought a county rivals’ series, in which we had control over three games that we had won we put the golden star representing the 10th championship title in our crest

2016-ban megyei párharcot hozott a bajnoki döntő, melyet végig uralva, három magabiztos győzelemmel helyeztük el címerünkben a történelmi, 10

One of the most important milestones of Sopron1s women’s basketball
