Valencia Basket Club, S.A.D. is a Spanish professional women's basketball team based in Valencia, Spain. The team currently plays in the Liga Femenina Endesa and EuroLeague Women with home games played at the Roig Arena. It is the women's team of the namesake club.
The orange club has a total of thirteen official titles in the men's section and ten in the women's section. Valencia is the only Spanish club to win the top basketball category in Spain in both sections: the 2016-17 ACB (in addition to two runner-up finishes) and the 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 Women’s League, as well as the EuroCup (ULEB Cup) on four occasions, where it is the most successful club in the competition, and the 2020–21 EuroCup Women.
The women's team of Valencia Basket was created in 2014 after integrating the youth teams of Ros Casares Valencia, former EuroLeague Women champion club which dissolved its senior squad in 2012, into the structure of the club. [2]
In its first season, Valencia Basket played in Primera División, the third tier of Spanish women's basketball. [3]
The club promoted in 2016 to Liga Femenina 2, and two years later, it qualified for the promotion playoffs to the top tier as champions of the Group B and achieved promotion to Liga Femenina, the top tier of Spanish women's basketball, in front of 6,200 spectators. [4] In their debut season, Valencia Basket reached the semifinals.
