We’ve reached the final week of group play in EuroLeague Women, and all eight spots for next month’s play-ins have been qualified for. The clubs that will be moving on are:
Group E
- ÇBK Mersin (10-1)
- Beretta Famila Schio (8-3)
- Tango Bourges Basket (7-4)
- Basket Landes (6-5)
Group F
- Fenerbahçe Opet (9-0)
- Valencia Basket Club (7-2)
- Casademont Zaragoza (5-4)
- ZVVZ USK Praha (4-5)
That doesn’t mean there’s nothing to play for this week, however. The play-ins are formatted in a way that guarantees the top teams advance further to the EuroLeague Women Final Six (essentially the league’s playoffs). Mersin, Fenerbahçe and Valencia have already qualified for the Final Six and will be playing in the semifinal play-ins; the final spot in the semifinal play-ins could go to either Schio or Bourges, depending on the results of their head-to-head matchup this week.
Things aren’t completely finished in Group F, either. Zaragoza and Praha have both qualified for the quarterfinal play-ins, but their respective spots in the standings—and play-in opponents—could flip depending on which club wins this week, so they still have something to play for before the competition goes on its pre-play-in hiatus.
