As he explained: “The dialogue has already been opened and the issue is for the fans to have the opportunity to see the national basketball teams playing home games. I think the initiative to have qualifiers during the season is a decistion in the right direction. A solution must be found to the issue between FIBA and Euroleague. Our position is this, as long as we can have a saying. We got to have the possibility to create the concept of a team, the sense of the team. Not just a random gathering once a year. The solution will be found, as it has been found in football”.
While Vasileiadis also added that he understand the concenrs of the EuroLeague which is “trying to create a competitive sports product, but on the other hand we should not lose the chance for the national teams to play in front of their audience. It’s very important. A serious dialogue has finally begun. But it must be made clear that the national team is above all “.
