Betsafe LKL named among top European domestic leagues

The Lithuanian topflight was once again named among the best basketball leagues in Europe. In the annual domestic league ranking compiled by EuroHoops.net, Betsafe LKL stayed in 10th position for the second year in a row.

"It's a big acknowledgement for us, but we are not going to confine ourselves to just making the Top 10," said the President of the league Remigijus Milasius.

"Our current goal is to climb to the 7-8th spots, but we need an even bigger input from the clubs to rise even higher."

The league has already taken steps on that path, with the minimum budget for the 2018-19 season increased from €350,000 to €400,000 in the Betsafe LKL Board Meeting held a couple of weeks ago.
