Ronchetti Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ronchetti Cup (called till 1996 European Cup Liliana Ronchetti) was an annual basketball European club competition held by FIBA between the years 1972 and 2002. It was the second competition in European basketball, after the European Cup For Women’s Champions Clubs (later renamed EuroLeague Women). It was replaced in 2003 by the EuroCup Women which is the absolute equivalent.
[edit] Liliana Ronchetti and European basketball
Liliana Ronchetti started playing basketball in Como, Italy at the age of 20 and then she got a wonderful career in Palermo until she got 45. Ronchetti, or Lily as she was called by her team mates, won 4 consecutive national titles with Como in the 1950s and played 83 games for the Italian national team.
Unfortunately, only one year after she quitted basketball, Lily died of cancer. But her name persisted through the European Cup Liliana Ronchetti (renamed in 1996 more simply Ronchetti Cup). This competition was created by FIBA in 1974 as the second European competition for women’s clubs.
