Club Deportivo Saski-Baskonia, S.A.D., commonly known as Saski Baskonia (pronounced [s̺as̺ki bas̺konia]) or simply as Baskonia, is a professional basketball team that is based in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. The team plays in the Liga ACB and the EuroLeague. It plays their home games at Fernando Buesa Arena.
The club was founded in 1952 as the basketball section of Club Deportivo Vasconia. It first played at Spain's highest level in 1971, and emerged as a major force in Spanish basketball in the 1990s. Most recently, Baskonia advanced to the EuroLeague Final Four in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2016, losing to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 2005 final, and 2006 semifinals, to Panathinaikos in the 2007 semifinals, and to CSKA Moscow in the 2008 semifinals.
Through outstanding scouting and shrewd management, Baskonia has built a squad that has been to four straight EuroLeague Final Fours and now is looking to take the last step to becoming a EuroLeague champion. Baskonia's first trophy of any kind came in 1995, the Spanish King's Cup, when Pablo Laso and Velimir Perasović led the team to an historical win. The club was already making noise internationally too, reaching the Saporta Cup final in both 1994 and 1995.
