The FIBA Europe is the governing body for Basketball in Europe; along with the Euroleague Basketball Organization and the ULEB they organize four main active club competitions for men: the Euroleague (formerly European Cup), the EuroCup Basketball, FIBA Champions League and the FIBA Europe Cup. There are also another four former FIBA Europe club competitions: FIBA Saporta Cup (1966–2002), FIBA Korać Cup (1971–2002), FIBA EuroCup Challenge (2002–2007) and FIBA EuroChallenge (2003–2015).[1] The European Basketball Club Super Cup and the FIBA SuproLeague are considered semi–official tournaments by FIBA Europe and thus not included in this list.
Spanish side Real Madrid have won a record total of 17 titles in European competitions, seven more than Italian club Cantù. The Italian clubs have won the most titles (44), ahead of clubs from Spain (41) and Greece (19).
