Saporta Cup
From Hoopedia
Saporta Cup was the name of a European men's competition in which European National Cup played one other in a single-elimination tournament. It was named after Raimundo Saporta, a Real Madrid director.
The competition was created in 1967 as European Cup Winners' Cup, but it went through several names until its eventual folding in 2002:
- 1967-1991 - European Cup Winners' Cup
- 1992-1996 - European Cup
- 1997-1998 - EuroCup
- 1999-2002 - Saporta Cup
The very last Saporta Cup season was held during 2001-02. After that it was fused with Korac Cup into the newly formed ULEB Cup competition.
