CSM Oradea începe un nou drum european. Roș-albaștrii debutează în noul sezon cu un meci decisiv în Basketball Champions League

CSM CSU Raiffeisen Oradea is set to begin its 2026-2027 season on September 16 against Petrolina AEK Larnaca in the Basketball Champions League qualifiers. This season marks a transition for the team, with Mikko Riipinen taking over as head coach after Cristian Achim's long tenure. The match is crucial as it is an elimination game, with the losing team exiting the Champions League and moving to the FIBA Europe Cup. CSM Oradea has previously faced AEK Larnaca, winning both encounters last season. AEK Larnaca, the reigning Cypriot champion, has retained most of its roster and aims to improve its past performances in the qualifiers. This will be CSM Oradea's seventh appearance in the Basketball Champions League qualifiers, with a balanced record in European competitions.
