All the great players & coaches of the European Club Competitions in the past 66 seasons. YOUR HELP IS PRECIOUS With the 13,994 players, 1,376 coaches, and 600 clubs listed in the Encyclopedia, occasional mistakes may occur. In case you have detected one, please inform us via houseofbasketball@fiba. basketball to improve data quality for - future editions. A NOTE ON NAMES The names used in this book have been taken directly from the original match records. In many cases, especially up until the late 1990s, these records were handwritten -sometimes in different alphabets- which means that reading them accurately has not always been easy. As a result, occasional errors in the spelling of names may exist. We have made every effort to document each name as precisely as possible. However, in some instances, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, this was not feasible, which is why in certain cases only the last name is provided. Additionally, we have worked diligently to avoid duplicate entries, especially in cases where players changed their last names after marriage. We have unified both names under a single profile whenever possible. Nevertheless, some inaccuracies may still exist. Copyright FIBA Foundation 2025 A TRIBUTE TO OUR HISTORY Dear Basketball Friends, This Encyclopedia of Women’s European Club Competitions offers an incredibly rich depth of data and information. It showcases the tremendous contributions of the players, coaches and clubs, who've shaped the prestigious history of these competitions. It also recognizes the National Federations in Europe that have been represented for many decades by their respective national champions, cup winners and best-ranked clubs. The most striking theme is the number of global stars who’ve built their careers in these famous competitions and attracted so many new fans with their skill and dedication. This publication also comes at a time when the women’s game is experiencing unprecedented global growth. It has been produced by the FIBA Foundation, which committed in its mission to preserve basketball’s cultural heritage. It has provided the resources for an often painstaking validation of results and names via historical archives. Promoting the legacy of our sport will not stand still. Annual digital updates to the Encyclopedia will be applied moving forwards. We hope you will enjoy it and find it a hugely enjoyable and precious source of information.
