The '''ABA League''', renamed the '''ABA League First Division''' in 2017, is the [[ABA League system|top-tier]] regional men's professional [[basketball]] league that originally featured [[sports club|clubs]] from [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|former Yugoslavia]] ([[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Croatia]], [[Montenegro]], [[North Macedonia]], [[Serbia]] and [[Slovenia]]). Due to sponsorship reasons, the league was also known as the '''[[Goodyear Dunlop Sava Tires|Goodyear]] League''' from 2001 to 2006, the '''[[Nova Ljubljanska banka|NLB]] League''' from 2006 to 2011, and as the '''AdmiralBet ABA League''' from 2021.

The league coexists alongside scaled-down national leagues in [[Basketball Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[A-1 Liga|Croatia]], [[Macedonian Prva Liga (basketball)|North Macedonia]], [[Montenegrin Basketball League|Montenegro]], [[Basketball League of Serbia|Serbia]], and [[Premier A Slovenian Basketball League|Slovenia]]. All but one of Adriatic League clubs join their country's own competitions in late spring after the Adriatic League regular season and post-season have been completed. In the past, the league has also consisted of clubs from [[Bulgaria]] ([[BC Levski Sofia|Levski]]), the [[Czech Republic]] ([[ČEZ Nymburk]]), [[Hungary]] ([[Szolnoki Olaj KK|Szolnoki Olaj]]), and [[Israel]] ([[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]]) that received wild card invitations. For the [[2024–25 ABA League First Division|2024–25 season]] [[Dubai Basketball]] from the [[United Arab Emirates]] is also joining the league.

The Adriatic League is a private venture, founded in 2001 and run until 2015 by the Sidro, a Slovenian limited liability company. Since 2015, the league has been operated by [[ABA League JTD]], a Zagreb-based general partnership for organizing sports competitions. [[Adriatic Basketball Association]] is the body that organizes the league and is a full member of [[ULEB]], as well as a voting member of [[Euroleague Basketball]]'s board.

==History==
At various points throughout mid-to-late 1990s, in the years following the [[Breakup of Yugoslavia|breakup]] of [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|SFR Yugoslavia]] and ensuing [[Yugoslav Wars]], different basketball administrators from the newly formed southeast European countries floated and informally discussed the idea of re-assembling a joint basketball competition to fill the void left by the dissolution of the former [[Yugoslav First Basketball League|Yugoslav Basketball League]] whose last season was [[1991–92 YUBA League|1991–92]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164354/http://sportservis.pressonline.rs/wsw/index.php?p=81&ni=24388 Mitrović: Bogosavljev je dao ideju];''[[Press (Belgrade newspaper)|Press]]'', 11 July 2011</ref>

However, no concrete action towards that end was taken before the summer 2000 [[ULEB]]-supported creation of [[Euroleague Basketball Company]] under the leadership of [[Jordi Bertomeu]] that immediately confronted [[FIBA Europe]], then proceeded to take a handful of top European clubs into its new competition for the [[2000–01 Euroleague|2000–01 season]] thereby opening an organizational split in European club basketball. During the 2000–01 split in the continent's top club competition, local regional basketball administrators from the ULEB-affiliated clubs Cibona, Olimpija, and Budućnost (that already competed in this new 'breakaway' Euroleague competition) shifted the discussions of creating a regional basketball league into higher gear.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}

On the public relations front, Adriatic League was met with strong and mixed reactions. Even though many hailed it as an important step for the development of club basketball in Southeast Europe, others felt that it brings no new quality and that it's not worth dismantling three domestic leagues. There was a lot of negative reaction from political circles, especially in Croatia, with even TV panel discussions being broadcast on Croatian state television. A very vociferous opinion in the country saw the league's formation as a political attempt to reinstate Yugoslavia.<ref>[http://www.nspm.rs/kulturna-politika/jadranska-liga-ili-samoubistvo-pod-obrucima.html?alphabet=l Jadranska liga ili samoubistvo pod obručima];''NSPM'', 31 December 2008</ref> The league organizers for their part did their best to appease the Croatian public with statements such as the one delivered by Radovan Lorbek in ''[[Slobodna Dalmacija]]'' in September 2001: {{cquote|''This is not a Yugoslav league, and it will never become a Yugoslav league. The Adriatic League has no clubs from Serbia and Macedonia, therefore the Adriatic League and Yugoslav league are not the same thing''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164444/http://sportservis.pressonline.rs/wsw/index.php?p=81&ni=24531 Deset godina NLB lige: Kako je Partizan gurnut u Jadran];''Press'', 15 July 2011</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Milorad|last=Bibić|url=http://arhiv.slobodnadalmacija.hr/20010928/sport2.htm|title=Jadranska liga donosi košarkašku REVOLUCIJU!|agency=[[Slobodna Dalmacija]]|date=28 September 2001|access-date=25 May 2019|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802004524/http://arhiv.slobodnadalmacija.hr/20010928/sport2.htm|archive-date=2 August 2017}}</ref>}}
Ten years later, in a 2011 interview for the Serbian newspaper ''[[Press (Belgrade newspaper)|Press]]'', Roman Lisac explained the league's behind the scenes strategy during its nascent stages was actually quite different: {{cquote|''I'm convinced the league would've never been able to survive without Serbian clubs. Getting [[KK Crvena zvezda|Crvena zvezda]] and [[KK Partizan|Partizan]] to join the league was something that we worked on from day one. However, the situation ten years ago was not that simple. Too much antagonistic post-war politics was still all around us, and it made our task all the more difficult. Everything that smelled of old Yugoslavia caused a lot of resistance both in Croatia and in Serbia. I repeat, the idea of having both Crvena zvezda and Partizan in the league was there from the very beginning, but we avoided talking about it publicly because of politics''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120319233823/http://sportservis.name/wsw/index.php?p=81&ni=24764 Lisac: Jadranska liga bi propala bez Srba];''Press'', 23 July 2011</ref>}}

The league is still occasionally criticized by observers around European basketball for reducing the scope and calendar of the domestic competitions that it replaced for the region's more-established clubs,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Savkovic |first1=Marko |title=Who Needs the Adriatic League? |url=https://www.ballineurope.com/who-needs-adriatic-league-3356/ |website=Ballin Europe |date=29 May 2012 |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref> particularly by clubs and influential figures within Serbia<ref>{{cite web |title=Partizan threatens to withdraw from the ABA League: Ensure regularity or we turn to other leagues |url=https://en.vijesti.me/sports/basketball/384824/Partizan-threatens-to-withdraw-from-the-aba-league%2C-ensure-regularity-or-we-will-turn-to-other-leagues |website=Vijesti |publisher=News Media Group |access-date=19 December 2023 |date=2019-05-08}}</ref> who would like its ABA members to better enhance domestic competition, such as Serbian national-team coach [[Svetislav Pesic]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Pesic attacks Serbian basketball, says teams should leave ABA League |url=https://basketnews.com/news-194690-pesic-attacks-serbian-basketball-says-teams-should-leave-aba-league.html |website=BasketNews.com |access-date=19 December 2023 |date=2023-09-14}}</ref>

===Foundational steps===
The competition was agreed upon in principle at a meeting in Ljubljana on 3 July 2001 by a founding assembly containing representatives of four basketball clubs: [[KK Bosna]], [[KK Budućnost]], [[KK Cibona]], and [[KK Olimpija]]. The day is considered to be the league's foundation date. Though club representatives from four countries attended the meeting, the main individuals behind the venture were six Slovenians and Croatians: Roman Lisac, Zmago Sagadin (at the time head coach of Olimpija), Radovan Lorbek (at the time president of Olimpija), Josip Bilić, Danko Radić, and Bože Miličević (at the time president of Cibona). The name chosen for the competition was the Adriatic League, invoking the Adriatic Sea as a common thread for participant countries thus purposely avoiding the terms 'Balkans' or 'Yugoslavia' that at the time carried a fairly undesirable public perception in Slovenia and an extremely negative one in Croatia.  Sidro d.o.o., the commercial entity that runs it, was created two months later in Slovenia.<ref name="AdriaticBasket" />

On 28 September 2001, the league announced a five-year sponsorship deal with Slovenian company [[Sava Tires]] from [[Kranj]], a subsidiary of [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company]]. The deal also included naming rights, hence from 2001 until 2006, the competition was known as the '''Goodyear League'''.

===Debut season===
With twelve clubs taking part in the inaugural 2001–02 season, the competition commenced in fall 2001 with four teams from Slovenia, four teams from Croatia, three teams from Bosnia-Herzegovina, and one team from [[FR Yugoslavia]]. The first game was contested in Ljubljana between Olimpija and [[HKK Široki|Široki]] on Saturday, 29 September 2001 at 5:30pm.<ref name="web.archive.org">[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164347/http://sportservis.pressonline.rs/wsw/index.php?p=81&ni=24435 Deset godina NLB lige: Huligani odložili ulazak Partizana];''Press'', 12 July 2011</ref>

Though the competition purported to gather the strongest sides from former Yugoslavia, as mentioned, teams from Serbia were noticeably absent, particularly Belgrade powerhouses and biggest regional crowd draws Partizan and Crvena zvezda. In addition to no clubs from Serbia proper, the league had no Serb-dominated clubs from Bosnia-Herzegovina either. Since the league founders mostly avoided talking about the issue due to fears of media backlash, the fact that no invitations were extended to Serbian clubs was generally explained through security issues due to organizers' fears of crowd trouble if Croatian and Serbian clubs were to start playing again in the same competition. Then in early February 2002, the public got a preview of just that when Cibona and Partizan met in Zagreb as part of [[2001–02 Euroleague|that season]]'s [[EuroLeague]] group stage. In a nationalistically charged and incident-filled encounter, Croatian fans peppered the Partizan players with rocks, flares, and even ceramic tiles before physically assaulting Partizan head coach [[Duško Vujošević]] in the guest team dressing room after the game.<ref name="web.archive.org"/>

The Adriatic League debut season was marked by dwindling attendances and lukewarm media support. Still the league did receive a bit of a shot in the arm on 24 February 2002, when its managing body ABA got accepted as full member of [[ULEB]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164333/http://sportservis.pressonline.rs/wsw/index.php?p=81&ni=24363 Deset godina Jadranske lige: Košarka nas je održala];''Press'', 10 July 2011</ref>

===Second season===
For the 2002–03 season, the league remained at the total number of 12 teams, while it went through major re-tooling internally. By the time season started, four teams dropped out (Sloboda Dita, Budućnost, Triglav, and Geoplin Slovan) to be replaced by: [[Israel]]i powerhouse [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]], Crvena zvezda (the first team from Serbia in the competition), the Bosnian outfit [[SKK Borac 1947|KK Borac]], and Croatian club KK Zagreb.

It was important for the league's long-term business to negotiate acceptable terms for the Serbian clubs to join the competition. To that end, Lorbek and Lisac went to Belgrade in early April 2002 with an offer of taking in three clubs from FR Yugoslavia for the Adriatic League's [[2002–03 ABA Goodyear League|2002–03 season]].<ref name="ReferenceA">[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164412/http://sportservis.pressonline.rs/wsw/index.php?p=81&ni=24466 Deset godina NLB lige: Zvezdin izlazak na Jadran];''Press'', 13 July 2011</ref> The offer was flatly rejected initially by the representatives of five [[YUBA Liga]] clubs – Partizan, Crvena zvezda, Hemofarm, FMP, and Budućnost – as their unified platform was either all five or nothing. Taking in all five required expanding the league to 14 teams, which was something the league organizers weren't prepared to do due to the associated increase in operating costs. The negotiated agreement thus fell through for the time being. However, it didn't take long for dents to appear in the unified front put forth by five YUBA league clubs – in May 2002 Crvena zvezda's management (three businessmen close to the ruling [[Democratic Party (Serbia)|Democratic Party]] in Serbia: [[Živorad Anđelković]], [[Igor Žeželj]], and [[Goran Vesić]]) hired Zmago Sagadin to be the club's new general manager – and soon after, in June 2002, the club broke the ranks by negotiating terms on its own thus agreeing to join the Adriatic League for the 2002–03 season.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

===Later developments===

For the [[2003–04 ABA Goodyear League|2003-04 season]], the league expanded to 14 teams, while relegating [[KK Bosna Meridianbet|KK Bosna]]; meanwhile, [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] departed the league in the wake of political unrest in Serbia.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sahar |first1=Eli |title=Maccabi's Clash With Red Star Postponed |url=https://www.haaretz.com/2003-03-13/ty-article/maccabis-clash-with-red-star-postponed/0000017f-e06f-d9aa-afff-f97fdd070000 |website=Haaretz |access-date=29 November 2023}}</ref>  In replacement, 4 teams joined: [[KK FMP (1991–2011)|KK Reflex]] of Serbia (who would win the league in their first season), [[KK Lovćen 1947|Lovćen 1947]] and [[KK Budućnost|Budućnost]] of Montenegro, and [[KD Slovan]] of Slovenia.  The latter two of those returned to the league after a year's absence, having been relegated from the 2001–02 season.  In the [[2004–05 ABA Goodyear League|2004-05 season]], the league expanded again to 16 teams while relegating 3, and its Final Four tournament became a Final Eight.  Its clubs included for the first time Serbian powerhouse [[KK Partizan|Partizan]], and another Serbian former-holdout club, [[KK Vršac|Hemofarm]] (who would win the league in its first year participating).<ref name="AdriaticBasket">{{cite web |title=League History |website=AdriaticBasket.com |access-date=29 November 2023 |url=http://www.adriaticbasket.info/history.php |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120731133346/http://www.adriaticbasket.info/history.php |archive-date=31 July 2012}}</ref>  After the season, the league contracted down from 16 back to 14 clubs, a number it would stay at until the [[2017–18 ABA League First Division|2017-18 season]].  In September 2006 the league signed a general sponsorship contract with [[NLB Group|Nova ljubljanska banka (NLB)]] and was renamed to NLB League, while keeping Goodyear as one of the major sponsors.  The league's first all-star game was held in December 2006 in Ljubljana.<ref name="AdriaticBasket" />

For the [[2011–12 ABA League|2011-12 season]], Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv rejoined the Adriatic League for one season, winning it. In 2012, a team from [[North Macedonia]] participated for the first time, with [[KK MZT Skopje|MZT Skopje Aerodrom]] joining the league for the [[2012–13 ABA League|2012-13 season]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Espino-Lozada |first1=David |title=ABA League (Adriatic Basketball League) |url=https://www.worthpoint.com/dictionary/p/sports/leagues-and-teams/aba-league-adriatic-basketball-league |website=WorthPoint |access-date=29 November 2023}}</ref>

A conflict emerged in early 2015 between the ABA and [[FIBA Europe]], resulting in the former's loss of recognition by the latter, as a part of the broader [[FIBA–EuroLeague dispute]].  On 13 April 2015, ABA League signed a 4-year agreement with [[Euroleague Basketball]] for one EuroLeague and 3 EuroCup annual slots.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tanjug.rs/full-view_en.aspx?izb=240934|title=ABA League gets one Euroleague, three Eurocup spots|publisher=Tanjug|date=13 April 2016|access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref>  Because of this agreement, FIBA threatened to suspend the six constituent national federations, and on 30 April it suspended ABA League from membership.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fibaeurope.com/coid_,xM3YrFJIck-c700Wd,Mn2.articleMode_on.html|title=FIBA Europe Executive Committee evaluates national federations' response and decides further steps|publisher=FIBA Europe|date=1 May 2016|access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref> FIBA wanted the league controlled by the national federations and clubs, while the ABA's organizing corporation, Sidro, wanted to maintain independence.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nikolic |first1=Nikola |title=Now there are no obstacles for FIBA to recognize the ABA league |url=https://en.vijesti.me/sports/basketball/175042/now-there-are-no-obstacles-for-fiba-to-recognize-the-aba-league |website=Vijesti |publisher=News Media Group |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref> A restructuring proposal from the league's clubs to FIBA in June 2015 involving reincorporating the competition under a new legal entity owned by the clubs was approved by FIBA, and the league's recognition reinstated.<ref>{{cite web |title=FIBA officially recognized the ABA league |url=https://en.vijesti.me/sports/basketball/174832/fiba-officially-recognized-aba-league |website=Vijesti |publisher=News Media Group |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref>  The next April, however, FIBA nevertheless suspended 8 nations' ability to have their senior men's national teams participate in [[EuroBasket 2017]], including all 6 constituent members of ABA League plus Russia and Spain, and further threatened their ability to participate in the [[Basketball at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Olympics]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Palmer |first1=Dan |title=FIBA throws eight countries out of EuroBasket with Olympic places at risk |url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1036538/fiba-throws-eight-countries-out-of-eurobasket-with-olympic-places-at-risk |website=Inside The Games |date=16 April 2016 |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref> The suspension of the ABA League was continued by FIBA in May 2016,<ref>{{cite web |title=ABA Liga not recognized by FIBA, more clarifications asked by national federations |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/fiba/235216/aba-liga-not-recognized-by-fiba-more-clarifications-asked-by-national-federations/ |website=EuroHoops.net |date=May 2016 |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Barkas |first1=Aris |title=ABA may be de-recognized again by FIBA |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/eurocup/274747/aba-may-be-de-recognized-again-by-fiba/ |access-date=19 December 2023 |website=EuroHoops.net|date=5 July 2016 }}</ref> and letters sent by FIBA to the national associations insisted that any federation that was associated with Euroleague would be punished similarly.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Barkas |first1=Aris |title=FIBA sent warnings to national federation again |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/fiba/344079/fiba-sent-warnings-national-federation/ |website=EuroHoops.net |date=12 November 2016 |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref> Analysis later that year suggested that FIBA's goal was to apply leverage to Euroleague in their dispute by depriving Euroleague's competitions of their ABA League club participants.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Karagiannakidis |first1=Evangelos |title=Fluctuations of a Dogfight, or a Schism in the Making |url=https://hoopfiction.gr/2016/10/06/euroleague-vs-fiba/ |website=HoopFiction |date=6 October 2016 |access-date=19 December 2023 |quote=FIBA’s thinking, impossible to be decoded at the time, went somewhat like this: abolish the ABA League and all the teams would have to return to their national championships.

Following the [[2016–17 ABA League|2016-17 season]], and in keeping with their restructuring agreement with FIBA, the league elected to split into two divisions: the relegated team(s) from the First Division would join the Second Division the following year, and the latter promoting to the former, with 12 teams initially in each division (reduced from 14 previously).<ref>{{cite web |title=ABA Liga cuts teams from 14 to 12 |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/aba/454386/aba-liga-cuts-teams-14-12/ |website=EuroHoops.net |date=24 May 2017 |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref> The Second Division would be composed of the top-finishing clubs of each country's domestic league in the previous season who were not already participating in the ABA League.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABA League no longer directly connected to domestic leagues |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/aba/634203/aba-league-no-longer-directly-connected-domestic-leagues/ |website=EuroHoops.net |date=13 March 2018 |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref> The allocation of teams between countries was a contentious process, but the reorganization yielded a 25% jump in attendance for the First Division's next season.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABA League sees increase in game attendance, social media numbers in 2017-2018 |url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/aba/715639/aba-league-sees-increase-in-attendance-social-media-numbers-in-2017-2018/ |website=EuroHoops.net |date=21 July 2018 |access-date=29 November 2023}}</ref>

==Competition==

===Competition system===
As of the 2013–14 season the league comprises a 26-game regular season, with the top 4 sides making the play-offs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/news/lateNews/contLeag/adriLeag/p/newsid/70691/arti.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230232914/http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/news/lateNews/contLeag/adriLeag/p/newsid/70691/arti.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 December 2013|title=Adriatic League – Players showing off World Cup credentials|date=10 December 2013|publisher=FIBA|access-date=29 December 2013}}</ref>

From 2002 through 2004, four teams qualified, and the playoffs were termed the "Final Four"; starting in 2005, eight teams advanced to the "Final Eight" round. All playoff rounds consist of one-off knockout matches, unusual among European leagues. However, since all Adriatic League clubs play in domestic leagues at the same time, and many also play in the EuroLeague, the current format has the virtue of limiting fixture congestion for the playoff sides.

In 2017, the [[ABA League Second Division]] was created. The last qualified team from ABA League would be relegated to the Second Division and replaced by the winner of this one.
