ZARAGOZA (Spain) - Zaragoza is set to remain the home of the EuroLeague Women Final Six until 2030 after a landmark agreement to extend the city's hosting rights for another three years.
The renewed partnership will see the Pabellon Principe Felipe stage the 2028, 2029 and 2030 editions of the competition's end-of-season event, building on the initial three-year agreement between FIBA Europe, Casademont Zaragoza, and the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB), covering 2025 to 2027.
The long-term commitment reflects the continued growth of EuroLeague Women and provides a stable foundation for further developing the Final Six and strengthening the competition's international profile.
The official announcement of the partnership renewal took place on Monday in Zaragoza, during an event in which FIBA Europe President Jorge Garbajosa, FIBA Executive Director Europe Kamil Novak, Zaragoza Mayor Natalia Chueca and Mar Vaquero, the vice-president of the government of Aragon, signed the agreement and fielded questions from the media.
"This event has already created a brand name in Zaragoza, as we have seen from the reaction of the fans, of visitors from other countries that have come to this beautiful city and lived the experience," said Mr. Garbajosa.
"We received interest from other cities, from other clubs who wanted to host the next cycle of the Final Six, but when you have such a product like women’s basketball which is on the rise and you want it to continue growing, you want its brand recognition to have the standards that we have found here. The premium women’s club competition will continue growing to new heights in Zaragoza until 2030," he added.
"Next year our city will be the European capital of sport and holding this event in Zaragoza demonstrates with facts, not just with a title, the importance we place on sport,” said Ms. Chueca.
"The Final Six has a beneficial impact on the local economy but even more importantly it foments young people’s love for basketball, as we saw from the attendance in the last Final Six, and especially love for women’s basketball which has become synonymous with Zaragoza," she added.
The Pabellon Principe Felipe will introduce a number of enhancements that aim to further enhance the spectator experience in the venue, highlighted by a new, technologically advanced video-cube that will be installed by March.
"The success of the Final Six is the result of the great work that the hosts have put in, but also the result of the amazing fans in this city," said Mr. Novak.
"None of the things FIBA Europe and Casademont have tried and applied to the Final Six would work so well if it wasn’t for the fans. And the people of Zaragoza have fallen in love with EuroLeague Women, and with the Final Six."
"It is important, and unprecedented, that FIBA Europe chose to renew the event even before the first three-year period has passed," said Ms. Vaquero.
"The Mayor mentioned the social impact of the event and of women’s basketball and this impact is felt not only in our capital, but throughout Aragon in its entirety and it transmits the success of a project and of shared effort."
Having made history as the first-ever host of the Final Six in 2025, Zaragoza further cemented its reputation as a premier destination for women's basketball with another successful edition in 2026 drawing record-breaking attendance.
The arena was filled to capacity on all three days of action, with 10,828 fans packing the venue for every session.
The announcement comes ahead of the EuroLeague Women Final Six 2027, which is scheduled to take place from April 14-18 and will mark the third consecutive edition hosted in the Spanish city.
