On Tuesday, the leadership of FIBA-Europe announced the venues for the "Final Fours" of the men's and women's EuroLeague. The decisive matches of the men's Eurocup will take place on April 27-28 in Kyiv, while the "Final Four" of the women's competition, which will be held on April 22-24, was entrusted to the Russian city of Samara. \n \nSt. Petersburg and Istanbul also vied to host the "Final Four" of the men's EuroLeague, but last week RIA "Novosti" learned that Kyiv was the favorite in this dispute, and ultimately received this right. \n \nFIBA-Europe President Georgios Vassilakopoulos noted that all eight clubs that qualified for the decisive stage of both tournaments showed great interest in organizing the "Final Four" at home. "Unfortunately, we must choose only two cities," added the head of FIBA-Europe. \n \nSt. Petersburg's "Dynamo," Moscow region's "Khimki," Turkey's "Fenerbahce," and Ukraine's BC "Kyiv" will compete for victory in the men's EuroLeague. And in the "Final Four" of the women's tournament, Samara's VBM-SGAU, Hungary's "Pecs," Lithuania's "Lietuvos Telekomas," and the Czech "Brno" will play. \n \nNote that the "Eurovision" contest will take place in Kyiv in early May, and it is not yet known whether the organizers will allow the basketball "Final Four" to be held specifically at the Palace of Sports. \n
