Countdown to the start of a new season of the Argentine Basketball League, the second category of our country. With 32 teams and renewed hopes, the contest gets underway, which for this edition will be made up of two tournaments, the Apertura and the Clausura. All the action can be seen live and exclusively through Básquet Pass.
The opening match will be this Sunday at 9:30 p.m. at the “Federación de Básquetbol de Jujuy” stadium, in the provincial capital, and will pit one of the debutants, Jujuy Básquet, against Independiente BBC de Santiago del Estero in Zone B of the Northern Conference.
The current season will have five new casts compared to the last edition. El Talar and Centenario de Venado Tuerto arrive from the Federal League after obtaining promotion. Mercedes Communications joins in from The National League and is armed to make noise. In addition, Estudiantes de Tucumán and Jujuy Básquet will also be there.
The current runner-up, Racing de Chivilcoy, maintained its hierarchy base and is one of the favorites to fight at the top. His namesake from Avellaneda formed a great team and is not far behind in the Southern Conference. Lanús, the one in the regular phase of last season, achieved the return of Sebastián Chaine, one of the most important signings of the recess. Gimnasia de La Plata is not far behind, with the arrival of Raúl Pelorosso and Franco Barroso, it has a tandem that will make people talk.
In the North, San Isidro de San Francisco, after a historic campaign in which it broke the record for consecutive victories, redoubled its bet, added Marcos Saglietti, and is going for everything. What has been said for Communications, which will put up a fight and has what it takes. Sportivo Suardi, the great revelation of last season, maintained its base and will continue to make people talk with its defense and collective play. Provincial de Rosario, which changed conferences, has a team to consolidate.
A spectacular season is coming, with great players, the same passion as always and the fight for promotion for 32 teams from all over the country. The Argentine League is long and the illusion is launched.
