Sitting Bucks and Panthers set for EuroLeague 2024

Sitting Bucks, as 2022-23 season Sitting Grand Prix overall winners, will be representing the country in the men’s competition, while Panthers, made up of female GB players, will play in the women’s competition. 

It will give players of both sides valuable high-level experience ahead of many of them playing internationally in the coming year. 

The EuroLeague competition system consists of nine teams divided into three pools (A, B, C), with each pool to play round robin matches. 

Sitting Bucks will play in the bronze tournament, where each of the pool winners will qualify to play in the Silver EuroLeague.  

They have been drawn in Pool B alongside KS Indra Kazmierz of Poland and SIP Semepter of Slovenia. 

All pools are expected to be completed by the end of March 2024. 

Panthers will take part in the Silver EuroLeague and have also been drawn in pool B. 

They will take on ASUL Lyon Volley of France and Mozdulj Mozgaskorlatozottak Sportgyesulete of Hungary to vie for a place in the Golden EuroLeague. 

All pools are expected to be completed by mid-April 2024. 

More details about the competitions will be released in due course.
