SloveniaMonaco, a French basketball club, has been excluded from professional competitions by the French Basketball Federation after failing to secure funding for the 2026/2027 season. This exclusion would force the club to withdraw from the EuroCup as well. In response, Monaco is exploring an alternative plan to join the ABA League for the upcoming season, despite knowing it is likely too late. They reportedly offered to pay half a million euros for a special invitation. The ABA League's general meeting on Friday could potentially discuss Monaco's inclusion, though current rules limit membership to 20 teams. The new ABA season begins on September 25, with Slovenian teams Cedevita Olimpija and Krka facing off in the first round.
