"Absheron Lions" basketball club qualified for the group stage of the FIBA ​​Europe Cup.

Offsideplus.az reports that although our representative lost to "Anorthosis" in the return match with a score of 77:60, they qualified for the main stage.

Note that in addition to taking into account the total score of the game, there is an additional rule according to the regulations of the FIBA ​​Europe Cup: the team that loses with the best margin (called "unsuccessful-unsuccessful") qualifies for the group stage.

Absheron Lions won the first game with a margin of +16 points, and lost in the return match by -17 points. Although they were 149–150 behind in the overall score, they advanced to the group stage precisely according to this rule, since they were the team with the best loss in the entire qualification stage.
