As the 2020-21 season draws near, it was time for CSKA Moscow and Zalgiris Kaunas to be visited by the EuroLeague Media Days tourn.
During Media Day, each of the 18 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague teams gathers for official player, coach and team photos, the shooting of footage for TV graphics, social media and promotional campaigns to be held during the season, as well as interviews and other similar endeavors.
Per EuroLeague:
Reigning champion CSKA Moscow is the latest team to prepare for the new Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season with the annual Media Day, allowing the competition’s media partners to grab all the photos and interviews they need for the upcoming campaign.
Dimitris Itoudis’s men are devoting their Monday morning to the necessary interviews and poses for the camera, before their next practice session scheduled for the afternoon.
