Cypriot basketball teams face decisive week in FIBA Europe Cup

Three Cypriot basketball teams are preparing for away matches in European competition this week. On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Petrolina AEK travels to Germany to face Fitness First Würzburg Baskets in Group E of the FIBA Europe Cup at 20:00, while TRIA EKA AEL meets Donar Groningen. On Thursday, November 12, Keravnos Strovolou plays against BC Pärnu in Estonia.

The match in Würzburg is critical for the standings as both AEK and Würzburg hold identical records of three wins and two losses. Dziki Warszawa currently leads the group with a 4-1 record, while Iraklis, Petrolina AEK, and Würzburg all sit at 3-2. AEK aims to bounce back following an 81-64 defeat to Iraklis Thessaloniki. In their previous encounter during the first matchday, AEK secured a 73-65 victory over the German side at the Kition Athletic Center, though the host team has significantly improved its performance since then.

These games are pivotal for the final qualification spots in the group, as the competition remains wide open for the top two positions. The outcome of this week's fixtures will likely determine which teams maintain control of their destiny heading into the final stages of the group phase.
