Corinthians discover details of the Liga Sul-Americana de Basquete groups | OneFootball

Throughout this Tuesday, September 2, Corinthians learned the details of the 2025 South American Basketball League, a tournament in which they have won three titles (1965, 1966, and 1969) and which was then called the South American Club Champions Championship. The competition is the second largest on the continent.

The team led by Jece Leite is in Group C along with Quimsa (Argentina), Defensor Sporting (Uruguay), and ABC Camp Importadora Alvarado (Ecuador). FIBA Americas (International Basketball Federation) and Consubasquet (South American Basketball Confederation) also designated the Alvinegro as the host of the group.

The group matches will take place between October 24 and 26, at the Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, Parque São Jorge. This is the 28th edition of the tournament, where teams will be divided into four groups of four clubs each. The top two from each group advance to the next phase – which will take place in a round-robin format. The games will be in a single round in the first stage.

In the round-robin, the top two teams will qualify for the semifinals. The two eliminated teams will compete for third and fourth place. Details of these phases are expected to be announced later. In the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Brazilian teams did not participate in the tournament due to political disagreements between the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB), National Basketball League (LNB), and Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).

Corinthians secured a spot in the competition by finishing the 2024/2025 Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) season in seventh place, being eliminated by Flamengo in the quarterfinals after losing 3-1 in the series.
