"Ganja holds a special place in my heart," new Ganja basketball team signing Alibey Mammadli told Offsideplus.az.

Reflecting on his return to the team, the 21-year-old said:

"I have only fond memories here. I believe that by competing as a unified family this season, we can hit our targets in both the EuroCup and the domestic league to make our fans proud."

The player also shared his ambitions for the upcoming campaign:

"Ganja’s management reached out to me directly, and we quickly found common ground. My goal is not just to meet their expectations, but to go above and beyond for the team."

The 190 cm forward spent last season as captain at Nakhchivan, having previously played for the Ganja side during the 2023/2024 season.
