Bologna –
Virtus Segafredo and FEB executives met yesterday, Tuesday, October 04, and agreed that the European Champions of the Spanish National Team will prepare in the facilities of the Virtussino club the 2023 World Championship qualifying match against Italy.
A delegation from FEB, led by its President Jorge Garbajosa, went to Bologna yesterday for a meeting with the management of Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna, represented by CEO Luca Baraldi and General Manager Paolo Ronci. In an atmosphere of maximum cooperation, the two institutions agreed that the Spanish men’s national team will hold a retreat at Virtus facilities in preparation for the 2023 World Cup qualifier, which will pit Spain and Italy against each other in the November window.
The agreement reached by FEB and Virtus Bologna will allow the Spanish team to have all the facilities of the team coached by Sergio Scariolo, who will thus be able to fulfill his responsibilities as head coach of both teams.
The FEB would like to publicly thank Virtus Bologna for their sensitivity and availability, which will allow the National Technical Commissioner to coach the European Champions in the game against Italy, despite the fact that the Club team has a game scheduled in another competition at the same time.
Both entities thus continue the framework of cooperation they have developed in recent years and are confident that the outcome of this experience will be satisfactory for the interests of all involved.
