The best spectacle in European women’s basketball will return to Zaragoza next year. The EuroLeague Final Six, scheduled for April 14–18, 2027, at Príncipe Felipe, will once again come to the Zaragoza arena to crown the new champion of Europe. The competition will initially feature Casademont Zaragoza and has already begun selling tickets for the decisive stage where the champion will be determined.
Casademont Zaragoza enjoyed a straightforward debut, overwhelming CAB Estepona 68-41 with an impenetrable defense after a turbulent week marked by Mariona's departure. Cantero's side was vastly superior in every aspect at the Príncipe Felipe.
S.D. Huesca returned to winning ways four weeks later, doing so comfortably. Two goals from Luismi, both preceded by opposition errors, and another from Herrera secured all three points against a very weak Europa side. Gori pulled one back in stoppage time. Jardiel’s team won 3-1 to claim their second victory of the season and restore some calm at El Alcoraz.
Casademont Zaragoza put in an excellent performance against Valencia Basket, but the game slipped away in the final quarter as the visitors won 82-97. It was the Reds' first defeat of the season, although the team showed it has the quality to compete on equal terms with anyone in the ACB.
Normality and calm have been hard to find around Casademont Zaragoza since Mariona Ortiz's departure was announced, although she will leave in December. But competition does not stop, and this Sunday at 12:15 p.m. marks the start of the new Liga Femenina Endesa season against CAB Estepona at the Príncipe Felipe. The game could be a soothing remedy—or not—for a group of players eager to show on the court that this team can once again challenge for titles.
The Príncipe Felipe is ready to welcome the new Casademont Zaragoza in an official match. The Aragonese side face the Red Tide this Sunday at 5:00 p.m. in their first game of the season, with a chance to build on their statement win in Tenerife and claim their second Liga Endesa victory. Standing in their way are the reigning champions, although Valencia Basket have also undergone major changes over the summer.
Pen at the ready to jot down four top-flight teams: Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol, Osasuna or Alavés. One of them will face Atlético Calatayud in the first round of the Copa del Rey after the team overcame the preliminary tie against Baztán. The Calatayud side, which won both matches, will learn its opponent in Monday’s cup draw at 1:00 p.m.
Casademont Zaragoza captain Guillem Vives has reviewed his first few months at the Aragonese club in an interview with Mundo Deportivo. Although he is a new signing, the fact that he is already the voice of the locker room reflects the importance he will have both on and off the court in a key year for the club's new project.
The start of the season can sometimes be demanding and exhausting. If anyone knows that, it is Casademont Zaragoza's next ACB opponent, Valencia Basket. The reigning league champions are facing a genuine marathon this week, with two EuroLeague games forcing them to travel from Lyon to Zaragoza without returning home before taking on the Aragonese side in the second round of the league season.
Mariona Ortiz's spell at Casademont Zaragoza, which began in 2022, has a set end date: December 30, when she will begin a new adventure with Project B after accepting an offer that was impossible to turn down. Knowing when her time in the Aragonese capital will end also makes it possible to identify her final game in the red jersey.
Amid the tsunami surrounding the Mariona Ortiz case, Ornella Bankolé has arrived in the Aragonese capital after completing her first WNBA stint, becoming the latest addition to the team, while Astou Ndour will not join until January.
Just as Casademont Zaragoza announced Mariona Ortiz’s upcoming departure, Project B, the emerging competition she will join next year, announced the signing of the Catalan point guard, the club’s symbol and leading figure in recent years.
The news no one wanted to accept is now official. Following this week's reports about her future, Casademont Zaragoza announced Friday that Mariona Ortiz, the women's team's leading figure and symbol, will leave the club at the end of the year to join the emerging Project B competition.
It is difficult to find the right words to explain a farewell. Even so, although Mariona Ortiz will not leave Casademont Zaragoza until the end of the year, the captain and leading figure of the women's team wanted to address the fans and the red-and-black club after her departure was announced.
As happens every year, the start of a new Copa del Rey campaign will produce stories to remember. One of them will take place at the Juan Guerrero 'El Lobo' Stadium in Cuarte de Huerva, Zaragoza. After earning a place in the knockout tournament thanks to last season's performance, the Cuarte-based team will host none other than a Segunda División side.
Project B is on the lips of all Casademont Zaragoza fans after learning that team captain Mariona Ortiz will leave in December to take part in the competition. But the question most people are asking is: what exactly is Project B?
With no respite and two matches in less than six days, Wanapix AD Sala 10 face Catgas Energía Santa Coloma at 9:30 p.m. this Friday away from home in the final game of this chaotic stretch.
CAB Estepona will face Casademont Zaragoza in their Liga Femenina Endesa opener after suffering their first setback of the season. The Aragonese side’s first domestic opponent has been eliminated from Europe after losing to GEAS Basket in the EuroCup qualifying round, ending the Malaga team’s hopes of making their continental debut.
The Mariona Ortiz case is shaking everything up. The departure of Casademont Zaragoza women’s team captain and leading figure has become the main focus both inside and outside the club’s circles. During her presentation as the Aragonese club’s new player, Yarden Garzon was asked about the issue on everyone’s lips, but the Israeli chose to steer clear of controversy with a measured and discreet response.
Although Mariona Ortiz's case has dominated the headlines surrounding Casademont Zaragoza in recent days, Yarden Garzon was presented Thursday as the club's new player. The Israeli forward, who has been part of the squad since the first day of preseason, repeatedly stressed that the main goal for Carlos Cantero's team at this early stage of the season is to "give our best."
