The NBA plans to step up negotiations on the creation of a Europe-based league when stakeholders meet around the FIFA World Cup final, ESPN reported.
League executives are expected to use the global spotlight of the soccer championship’s climax to advance conversations about structure, timing and potential host cities for the proposed European competition. Specific details of the meetings have not been disclosed.
The initiative aims to expand the NBA’s international footprint and capitalize on basketball’s growing popularity across the continent. No formal timeline for launching the league has been announced.
