FIBA Europe EuroLeague Women index
|
The EuroLeague women’s basketball competition brings together the top teams from various European basketball leagues.The original plan was to have 24 teams split into three groups of eight, with the top four teams from each group qualifying for the knock-out stage alongside the best fifth place teams.
The host of the Final Eight qualifies directly for the final phase.
However with just 23 teams this season, one group has seven teams.
The competition is still played in three distinct phases:
1. the group stage (round robin) in which eight teams are eliminated,
2. the second round - best of three series - in which seven teams are eliminated,
3. the final eight.
