Valencia Basket
Valencia Basket Club S.A.D., commonly known as Valencia Basket (Valencian: [vaˈlensia ˈbasket]; Spanish: [baˈlenθja ˈβasket]), is a professional basketball team based in Valencia, Spain. The team plays in the Liga Endesa and the EuroLeague, and its women's team was started in 2014 and promoted to Liga Femenina Endesa in 2018. From 1987 to 2025, they played their home games at the Font de Sant Lluís. Since 2025, they have played their games at the Roig Arena, with a capacity of up to 20,000 spectators.
The "Oranges" have a total of thirteen official titles in the men's section and ten in the women's section. Valencia is the only Spanish club to win the top basketball category in Spain in both sections: the 2016-17 ACB (in addition to two runner-up finishes) and the 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25 Women's League, as well as the EuroCup (ULEB Cup) on four occasions, where it is the most successful club in competition, and the 2020–21 EuroCup Women.
In the historical classification of the ACB, the men's team is in sixth place, having played 37 seasons in the top category. In 2024, the men's team placed 12th in the FIBA Europe classification and 10th place in the women's classification.
The club is owned by retail tycoon Juan Roig.
Valencia Basket was founded on 27 September 1986, after Valencia CF decided to fold its basketball section.
On 4 May 1988, while in its second season in the Primera División B, which was the second-tier league of Spanish basketball at that time, the team won its first promotion to the Spanish top-tier level ACB, where the team remained until the 1994–95 season. In 1995, Valencia was relegated to the Spanish 2nd-tier level EBA League, after falling in the league's relegation playoff against Somontano Huesca. In the next season, after being the runner-up in Liga EBA, in a non-promoting season, Valencia BC bought Amway Zaragoza's ACB place to join the top league, where it has remained until nowadays.
On 2 February 1998, Pamesa Valencia won its first Spanish national title, after beating Pinturas Bruguer Badalona, by a score of 89–75, in the final of the 1998 Copa del Rey, which was played in Valladolid. One year later, on 13 April 1999, the club played in the final of the 1998–99 FIBA Saporta Cup, but was defeated by Benetton Treviso, 64–60, in the final played in Zaragoza. Three years later, the club repeated the same success, but Montepaschi Siena won the final of the 2001–02 FIBA Saporta Cup, by a score of 81–71, in Lyon, France.
Continuing on with some of the club's best years, the 2001–02 ACB season was historic for the club, as it reached the Spanish ACB League finals, where they could not win any games in their series against FC Barcelona. Before this first success in reaching the finals of the Spanish league's playoffs, Pamesa Valencia won its first European-wide title, by defeating Krka Novo Mesto in the 2002–03 ULEB Cup, which would then also allow the club to make its debut in the European top-tier level EuroLeague.
