Learn More About Slovenia - Super Cup (Basketball)

The Slovenia Super Cup is an annual basketball competition in Slovenia that serves as the curtain-raiser for the professional basketball season. It is a one-game event that features the Slovenian League (Liga Nova KBM) champion and the Slovenian Cup winner from the previous season. If the same team wins both the league and the cup, the Super Cup final is played between the league winner and the cup runner-up.

This competition is significant because:

• It marks the official start of the Slovenian basketball season.
• It provides an early indicator of team form and readiness for the upcoming season.
• It is a prestigious trophy in Slovenian basketball history.
• The game is played at a neutral venue or in a city chosen by the Slovenian Basketball Federation.

The Slovenian Basketball Federation (KZS) oversees the event, ensuring fair play and officiating. The game follows FIBA rules, and top Slovenian clubs such as Cedevita Olimpija, Krka Novo Mesto, and Helios Suns often compete in the event.
