Turgay Demirel welcome to the Top 16 Draw
Dear friends,
It is a great honor to meet you all here at the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Basketball Top 16 Draw. The Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four is the most important basketball event for clubs and I would like to extend my congratulations to the management of the Euroleague for the success they have achieved. I would also like to congratulate the clubs, players and coaches who worked hard to qualify for the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16.
The 12th Euroleague Basketball season has been a special one for Turkey so far. For the first time, three Turkish teams compete in the Euroleague this season and all three have qualified for the Top 16. Besides, the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four will be in Istanbul and we are very proud of hosting.
Basketball in Turkey is growing everyday and this growth is the result of a firm vision to become a powerhouse in basketball and of strong support from our partners. We have hosted many major basketball events in Turkey, latest the Men's World Championship, and we always get strong support from the City of Istanbul, our Government and our sponsors.
The Turkish Airlines Final Four in Istanbul is a great opportunity for us to continue to develop and promote basketball. It is also a great opportunity for Euroleague to strengthen its brand in a strong region of the world where Istanbul is right in the center.
We, Turkish Basketball Federation, are proud partners to the Euroleague together with Turkish Airlines, Efes, Detur and the City of Istanbul and we are looking forward for a great and unforgettable Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four weekend in May. I wish all the participants the best of luck with the Draw and a very Happy New Year.
