The first trophy of the season is a ticket. And Telekom Baskets fully deserved it. The Bonn public happily held up a large cardboard box containing the right to move to the Champions League to the camera. After a long period of uninteresting play, the team of head coach Roel Moors defeated Dinamo Sassari in the final of the qualifying tournament in Antalya with 78:71 (20:21, 12:12, 32:15, 14:23) and started on October 10 in Riga, Latvia, entering the season.
