FIBA European Champions Cup 1958

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The inaugural season 1958 of the FIBA European Champions Cup was won by ASK Riga by winning both games against Akademik Sofia. Previously, they hadn't played the semifinals as Real Madrid wasn't allowed to travel to Soviet Riga by the Francoist authorities. The first game was held in February 22, 1958 in Brussels, Belgium with Belgian champion Royal IV SC Anderlechtois defeated Luxembourg champion BBC Etzella 82-43.[1] Most notable contributors to Riga's first title include Center Janis Krouminch and coach Alexander Gomelsky.
