FIBA Saporta Cup

History

The competition was created in 1966, as the FIBA European Cup Winners Cup, but it had several denominations, until its eventual folding in 2002:

• 1966–67 to 1990–91 FIBA European Cup Winners Cup
• 1991–92 to 1995–96 FIBA European Cup
• 1996–97 to 1997–98 FIBA EuroCup
• 1998–99 to 2001–02 FIBA Saporta Cup

The final Saporta Cup season was held during the 2001–02 season. After that, it was fused with the FIBA Korać Cup, into the formed FIBA Europe Champions Cup.
