When the Ball Rolls Into Life: Fenerbahce, Bourg-en-Bresse and Milan Crowned at EuroLeague One Team Awards 2026-26

On September 9, 2026, EuroLeague announced the winners of the One Team Awards for the 2026-26 season at its annual workshop in Barcelona. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, Cosea JL Bourg-en-Bresse and Armani Olimpia Milan were honored not for on-court tactics but for their community programs addressing UN SDG 10 on reduced inequalities. Sasha Vezenkov of Olympiacos Piraeus was named Best One Team Ambassador. Fenerbahce engaged elderly participants in Istanbul; Bourg-en-Bresse built structured sessions for people with intellectual disabilities; Milan focused on youth education with partners Laureus and Scalo Milano. The three programs show that basketball can be a tool for social integration. The real challenge ahead is sustainability and measuring genuine long-term impact, not just award-winning narratives.
