After its local team won the Spanish Supercup, the first title in the club’s history, the island of Gran Canaria now has another reason to celebrate. And that is because it will also become the Spain’s basketball capital early in the following year, since it will host the 2017 edition of the Copa Del Rey.
As Spanish La Provincia reports, ACB reached its final decision to organize the tournament in Las Palmas during the SuperCopa tournament that took place in Vitoria. Francisco Roca, president of ACB, is expected to officially announce the news in the following week.
This will be the third time that the Copa Del Rey is held in Gran Canaria. The first time was in 1990, when CAI Zaragoza beat Joventut Badalona in the final and then second in 2015 with Real Madrid winning the trophy by defeating Barcelona in the title game.
