Cibona Zagreb returns to European competitions after seven years. This is a crucial step for the club, which has been on the verge of bankruptcy for years. Now, Cibona will play in the Fiba Europa Cup, which will bring significant funds. The Croatian Basketball Federation has promised clubs that will play in Europe significant funds, and Cibona will also receive a portion of that money. Fans of the Slovak club Prievidza chanted 'Cibona Zagreb' after losing to Cibona, showing that Cibona still has a brand in Europe. Cibona will play in a group with French Dijon, Italian Reggiana, and Kosovo's Bashkimi. This is a tough group, but Cibona has a chance to advance. In Croatia, Cibona will fight for the status of a club of city significance, which will bring additional funds. Cedevita Junior already has an advantage in that sense, but Cibona has visibility in Europe. Slovak fans remember 1996 when Cibona played in the Euroleague and had the status of a two-time European champion. Cibona will have to decide whether to play in the Second ABA League, which would bring additional funds. The HKS will have to decide whether to pay for Cibona's matches in the Fiba Europa Cup. Cibona has a chance for success in Europe, but will have to work hard to achieve its goals. Andrija Žižić, Cibona's coach, will have to find a way to help his players achieve the best possible results. Cibona will play its first match in the Second ABA League on October 14 against Skopje. But the question remains whether Cibona can play three competitions - domestic, regional, and European. So, the key question is can Cibona with this player roster play three competitions. Cibona's management will have to make some tough decisions in the coming weeks.
