Club | History
The history of Basketball Nymburk dates back to 1929. The first team consisted of women only, but men managed to form their team shortly after the female came to existence. The quality grew rapidly and within twenty years, team Lyon or Maccabi Tel Aviv arrived to play in Nymburk. In the 1970's the Nymburk team participated in regional competitions and the successful ones were mostly the youngsters. From the 60's to 80's the club was supported by the Nymburk rail industry and participated in various international events such as the Olympic Railway games. A new era began in 1996, when the Nymburk advanced higher from the third league. In 1998, the Jansta brothers took over the club and ensured its financial stability and thus the team promoted to the first league. Since 2000 the club has been growing quite rapidly and has kept winning not only the domestic league and Czech Cup, but has continuously been proving its high quality throughout Europe. Since 2007 the Nymburk has been acting as a successful and stable Eurocup participant (formerly ULEB Cup - the second most prestigious European competition). The Basketball Nymburk entered the Adriatic League in 2010, those days the third most prestigious league in Europe - immediately after the Spanish ACB League and the Italian league. A year later Nymburk decided to change the competition and joined the VTB United League, which is supported by one of the Russia‘s largest banks – the VTB Bank. The Nymburk was invited to join this competition as the only club outside the former Soviet Union (except the Polish Club, which is a former VTB League member) and proved to be a tough competitor for many large European teams. By the victories over CSKA Moscow, St. Petersburg or Chimki Moscow, Nymburk joined the European basketball elite. With respect to success and quality of the club it is regularly invited to join the Euroleague qualification. Not only a male team exists within the Basketball Nymburk but also a basketball youth centre, attended by more than 200 children and youngsters per season.
