Juvecaserta Basket
From Hoopedia
JuveCaserta Basket (also spelled Juve Caserta Basket), also known for sponsorship reasons as Eldo Caserta is an Italian professional basketball team from the town of Caserta. The team will play the 2008-09 season in Serie A after winning the 2007-08 promotion playoffs in the second-level LegADue (also known as Serie A2).
The original Juve Caserta club has been established in 1951. It has won the Italian Championship in the 1990/91 season, played in the finals in 1985/86 and 1986/87 seasons, won the Italian Cup (1987/88), played in the Italian Cup final (1988/89) and played in the Korać Cup final in the 1985/86 season and European Cup Winners' Cup final in the 1988/89 season. Due to sponsorship deals, it has also been known as Juventus Caserta (1975-76, 1978-79), Il Diario Caserta (1979-80), Latte Matese Caserta (1980-82), Indesit Caserta (1982-85), Mobilgirgi Caserta (1985-87), Snaidero Caserta (1987-89), Phonola Caserta (1989-93) and Onyx Caserta (1993-94).
Following the 1997/98 season, the club went bankrupt. In 2004, two lower-level Caserta-based teams merged under the name of JuveCaserta. Again due to sponsorship deals, the new club has also been known as Pepsi Caserta (through the 2007-08 season). The best results of this new club have come in the last two seasons—a third-place finish in LegADue in 2006-07, followed by a second-place finish and playoff victory in 2007-08.
