Ljubljana’s KK Union Secures 23rd National Basketball Championship
KK Union Ljubljana has taken a crucial step towards securing their fifth consecutive triple crown in domestic competitions, claiming their 23rd national championship title – their sixth in the series. The team’s success reflects fifteen consecutive championship wins under the Slovenian Basketball Association’s leadership, with the last trophy relinquished in 2021. This year’s victory marks a return to the top for KK Union, who hadn’t previously held the championship title since 2021.
Notably, the previous champion, KK Krka, has been absent from the highest step of the podium since that win. KK Krka, with seven national championship titles including the most recent in 2013/14, faced off against KK Union in the finals. The rivalry between KK Union and KK Cedevita Olimpija is a long and storied one, with eleven DPO finals contested.
KK Union has emerged victorious six times, while KK Cedevita Olimpija has claimed five. Last season’s final saw KK Union secure a 3:1 victory against KK Cedevita Olimpija. The team’s accomplishment represents a significant step forward in their ongoing dominance of Slovenian basketball.
