SIGAL UNIQA Balkan League keeps the traditions and as usual there will be a new-comer to the family – KB Trepca from the city of Mitrovica, Kosovo.

 

The club’s management has been in close contact with the League for the past one and a half month discussing all the conditions and possibilities for both sides from an eventual participation. 

 

KB Trepca and the city of Mitrovica are known with their traditions on the basketball stage. For the past decade the team has always had its place in the front positions of the Kosovo standing and now they took an important challenge to move forward and try the international stage.

 

Trepca is three times Kosovo champion (the first ever) and three times Cup winner. The team lifted the title in years 2000, 2001 and 2012 while lifting the Cup in 2000, 2004 and 2012. Last season the team finished in fourth place in the Kosovo league and then lost the semifinal playoffs to another BIBL participant – KB Peja. The team plays its home games in “Minatori” gym which was recently renovated. The Trepca’s fans are known as one of the most p?ssionate in the Balkan region so there’s no doubt they will create a great atmosphere for the team’s first season in the competition.

The head coach of the team will continue to be Croatian Neven Plantak while Trepca already signed American players Montrael Scott, Eric Stutz and Jeremy Wise.

 

During the following week the Kosovo Basketball Federation is expected to send the letter of consent to the League after which the Sports Director - Shay Shtriks and the Competition Manager - Kamen Toshev will pay visit to the city of Mitrovica to meet the team’s management, check on facilities and discuss media and marketing issues.
