The Eurocup (known as the ULEB Cup from 2002-2008) ^[1] is the second-tier transnational professional basketball competition in Europe. It is composed of teams from European domestic national leagues that are joined in and are a part of the ULEB (a French acronym for "Union of European Leagues of Basketball"), and that also do not have a contract to be in the Euroleague. ULEB Cup was created in 2002 and can be considered as a fusion between the old FIBA Korać Cup and Saporta Cup competitions.
