EuroChallenge 2014-15 Field Confirmed

FIBA Europe announced on Tuesday the 32 clubs which will participate in the EuroChallenge 2014-15 season.

The list includes teams from 19 European countries as well as Kazakhstan's BC Astana who have received special dispensation to participate in European club competitions.

The EuroChallenge Draw will take place in Munich, this coming Sunday, 6 July.

The 32 teams will be divided into eight Regular Season round-robin groups of four teams each. The two best-placed teams will qualify to the Last 16.

As it was the case last year the Regular Season clubs will be divided into two main Conferences - Conference 1 and Conference 2 - based on purely geographical criteria.

The move aims at reducing travelling time and costs for the clubs.

The seedings for the Draw will be announced on Friday, 4 July.
