As it was announced from the Italian basketball federation (FIP) and the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI),the three Italian clubs which had a three year deal in Eurocup are ready to back down from it.
Those clubs are Trento, Sassari and Reggio Emilia. The press release is the following: “A meeting between CONI, FIP, Legabasket and Basketball Reggiana society, Dinamo Sassari and Aquila Basket Trento took place this morning at the Foro Italico. At the end of the meeting, which was characterized by the utmost cordiality and collaboration, it was agreed that the clubs have agreed to proceed in accordance with national and international regulations that are based on sports law”.
After this turn of events, Italy has avoided any danger of being banned either from the pre-Olympic tournament which will be hosted in Turin, or from Eurobasket 2017.
