Zaragoza will continue to host the Women’s EuroLeague Final Six through 2030, following the renewal of the agreement announced on Monday, November 9, 2026, at the Príncipe Felipe Arena. The extension cements the Aragonese capital’s position as the venue for one of the leading events in European women’s basketball.
Zaragoza extends its ties to the Women’s EuroLeague Final Six through 2030
The new agreement extends the competition’s presence in Zaragoza beyond the three editions initially awarded by FIBA Europe in 2024. That designation made Zaragoza and Aragon hosts of the final stage for three consecutive years, covering the 2025, 2026 and 2027 editions.
The renewal was finalized before the 2027 edition was held. Those attending the announcement included the Vice President and Minister of the Presidency, Justice, Culture and Sports of the Government of Aragon, Mar Vaquero; Zaragoza Mayor Natalia Chueca; FIBA Europe President Jorge Garbajosa; and Basket Zaragoza President Reynaldo Benito, among other representatives.
According to Vaquero, the first two editions exceeded expectations. The Final Six has attracted thousands of visitors from European countries and showcased Zaragoza and Aragon to millions of fans, while highlighting the region’s organizational capabilities and sports infrastructure.
The Final Six strengthens Aragon’s sports and tourism profile
The tournament’s continuation through 2030 reflects the joint efforts of the Government of Aragon, Zaragoza City Council, FIBA Europe and Casademont Zaragoza. The vice president also highlighted the role of Aragonese fans in establishing the event.
The regional government views the agreement as part of its strategy to position Aragon as a national and international sports benchmark by attracting top-tier competitions. For Vaquero, major sporting events generate economic activity, tourism, international visibility and opportunities for the region, while also promoting the values associated with sport and inspiring new generations.
The renewal keeps Aragon among Europe’s leading sports destinations and ensures that the Príncipe Felipe Arena will continue to host the Women’s EuroLeague final stage in the years ahead.
Aragon plans to raise its sports budget by more than 23% in 2027
Mar Vaquero reiterated that sport is a strategic policy area for Aragon’s development. Following an increase in sports allocations in 2024, the regional government plans to raise the budget allocated to sport by more than 23% in 2027.
The planned increase will bolster support for sports federations, clubs, inclusive sports and high-performance athletes. It also provides for continued improvements to the region’s sports infrastructure.
