Uppsala won the basic series in the men's superettan after 22 straight victories and today received the SBL place formally approved.

Thus, the club has both the men's and women's teams in the highest league in the 2022/2023 season.

- Now our journey continues to establish Uppsala Basket as one of the largest basketball associations with women's and men's teams at the highest level where equal elite sponsorship is a must for us, says club manager Mathias Rutegård in a statement.

League runner-up Kalmar will also be a newcomer to SBL next season.

- Insanely fun, says chairman Jesper Birgemo to Barometern.

The message comes in the middle of the ongoing playoffs.
