For the second consecutive time, two teams from the same country met in the final.

Venue

edit

The Palasport Giacomo Del Mauro was the first venue. The Palasport originally had a 3,600 seating capacity. It was expanded to a 5,300 seating capacity in 2008, specifically in order to meet the minimum capacity requirements for EuroLeague games, which require an arena of at least 5,000 seats. In 2008, the arena's usage rights were also entrusted to Air Avellino, for a period of ten years.

The Palasport Giuseppe Taliercio in Venice, the venue for the second leg, opened in 1978.[1] It was used as one of the host arenas of the 1979 EuroBasket. It has most notably been used as the home arena of the Italian basketball club, Reyer Venezia Mestre, of the Lega Basket Serie A. The Italian club Basket Mestre 1958 also used the arena at one time.
