Turkish Airlines EuroLeague CEO Jordi Bertomeu is hopeful to have an English team in EuroLeague in a few years.

EuroLeague had a team from London early in 2000 but the project did not work for a long period of time.

But with the new EuroLeague format all EuroLeague teams play at last 15 games at home (from next season 17).

Per Sports Business Radio (via Eurohoops): “We want to have a stability in the presence in the market. We have to remember that when we started the league in 2000 we had a team in London for a couple of years. But only five games were not enough for a team in a market that was still young and not mature for basketball. Now the situation is different. With the new format of the league and with the regular season that guarantees 15 games at home, we are in a position that a strong project can join us. We are working on that. Our expectations are that in the next 3-4 years to have a team playing at a EuroLeague level. These are our expectations. We are working towards this action and I’m optimistic that this can happen.”
