Real Madrid is a Spanish professional basketball team founded in 1931 as a division of the Real Madrid C.F. club. They play in the Liga ACB and internationally in the EuroLeague.
As successful as the football club, the basketball team has been the most successful of its peers in both Spain and Europe. The Real Madrid squads have won a record 33 Spanish championship, including 7-in-a-row and 10-in-a-row sequences. They have also won a record 27 Spanish Cup championships, a record 9 EuroLeague Championships, and a record 4 Saporta Cups.
Madrid has won a record 5 Intercontinental Cups and they have also won 3 Triple Crowns. Star players have included: Arvydas Sabonis, Dražen Petrović, Dražen Dalipagić, Mirza Delibašić, Juan Antonio Corbalán, Fernando Martín and Dejan Bodiroga.
Real Madrid also has a developmental basketball team that plays in Liga EBA (Real Madrid B).
With a record of success that exceeds that of any other team in European basketball, Real Madrid has always lived willingly with high expectations.For at least half a century, Madrid has been a standard-bearer in European basketball, accumulating a record nine continental titles based on its dominance in the 1960s. Its early dominance in Spain has resulted in another untouchable cache of 33 domestic league and 27 cup trophies. And almost every time that Madrid did not play in Europe's top competition, it won a different continental trophy – four Saporta Cups, a Korać Cup and a ULEB Cup – as a stepping-stone back to the big time.
