Also known as the Albatrosse, Berlin's basketball club is Germany's most successful, and has the largest fanbase; home matches easily attract 10,000 spectators. Since going pro in 1991, Alba has won the German League eight times and the German Cup seven times. Alba Berlin’s wait for another Bundesliga goes on, with another runner’s up spot secured in 2018/19. That heartbreak was overshadowed by the team’s historic run to the final of the EuroCup, where Alba fell short against Valencia in a three-game series. A miserable run of winter results has left the club down in 16th place in the Euro League, while they remain 3rd in the Bundesliga. There is also the small matter of the BBL-Pokal final, a big game against EWE Baskets on February 16.
