The EuroLeague will feature two Israeli teams next season, as Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv have earned promotion after defeating Gran Canaria 103-94 on the road and sweeping the EuroCup Finals series 2-0.

Hapoel became the second Israeli team to win EuroCup after Jerusalem did that in 2004.

Meanwhile, Hapoel coach Dimitris Itoudis joins a select club of EuroLeague and EuroCup winning coaches: Dusan Ivkovic, David Blatt, and Ergin Ataman.

On the roster front, Hapoel is reportedly targeting big names for next season, including Vasilije Micic, Chima Moneke, Jean Montero, and Mfiondu Kabengele.
