Entering the new season assertively under the leadership of Coach Ekrem Memnun, Galatasaray Nef is taking firm steps forward in the Champions League. Having won 4 victories in 5 matches, the Yellow-Reds managed to stay in the TOP 16 as the group leader.
Entering the last week of the FIBA Champions League, 2 of our representatives were guaranteed to reach the TOP 16 as the group leader. Bringing coach Ekrem Memnun to the head of the team and establishing an ambitious team, Galatasaray won 4 wins in 5 matches and made its name directly among the last 16 teams.
Satisfied, he said about passing the tour: “We are also happy to qualify directly to the TOP 16. This also gives us time to improve our game until then. Last year, we could only win 1 match in this tournament. This year, we have already secured the group leadership with 1 game left. All I can say right now is: We are a new team. We have young players. We have to work and improve our game. We will see what happens next.”
Tofaş is also in TOP 16
Also in the cup, Bursa representative TOFAŞ was our other representative who managed to reach the TOP 16 by being at the top of Group F. Pınar Karşıyaka, Beşiktaş and Darüşşafaka will struggle to find a place for themselves from the 2nd or 3rd place in the last week’s match. If our teams take the 2nd or 3rd place, they will be eligible to play Play-In.
