There was no agreement, despite the good words of everyone at the end of the meeting that they held this Thursday morning. And Spanish basketball will return to court, because the mediation of the Higher Sports Council (CSD) was not effective, it failed to reach agreement between the Association of Basketball Clubs (ACB) and the Spanish Federation (FEB). The injured, the Delteco Gipuzkoa Basket, who sees (for the moment) restrained his intention to ascend to the highest category.

"The FEB positively values ​​the effort made in these weeks by all parties involved in the search for future solutions for Spanish basketball," begins the statement by the entity chaired by Jorge Garbajosa , which then details the impossible: " the FEB is not competent to assess non-compliance with the requirements that, according to the ACB, prevents the promotion of Delteco GBC ".

That, the formal requirements (gaps in endorsements and documentation outside the stipulated deadlines) , is what the ACB is shielding to stop the GBC, for - as also announced via statement - "dispute the season 20-21 with 18 teams " Something that Antonio Martín, its president, had already warned about, although on that occasion he will not speak of problems of form. It was then clearer: "Next year, for a thousand reasons, the clubs understand that being 20 with the one that is falling and with the one that is upon us in 2020-2021, is an extreme difficulty and the ideal is for us to be eighteen for many reasons".

The CSD noted that in the face of alterations for competitions, it made a last proposal "that guaranteed the incentive to rise to the professional category of Spanish basketball despite the difficulties that the pandemic had caused in recent months," along with a promotion scheme and decreases for the 2020-2021 season depending on what the competition itself can advance. The ACB demanded that if it accepted a competition with 19 teams, next summer there would only be one promotion from the LEB Gold and two decreases . But there was no agreement with the FEB.

"Finally, ACB and Federation have not been able to reach a final understanding." In other words, as the clubs had agreed on the 23rd in Assembly, they will not allow affiliation in the Endesa League of Donosti Gipuzkoa Basket. He was rejected by 17 of the 18 total votes.

Without an agreement, the San Sebastian team will maintain what its president, Nacho Núñez , had already warned about . You will go to court to try to defend your right to promotion. To do this, he will request the precautionary suspension of last season of the ACB.
