Given that the previous season there were two main competitions, the 2000–01 FIBA Suproleague and the 2000–01 Euroleague, thus two European champions (Maccabi Tel Aviv and Kinder Bologna), it was decided that an opening tournament would be played to determine the unofficial champion. The Euroleague opening tournament was hosted in Ljubljana by Union Olimpija and was won by Cibona VIP, the only guest of the tournament, beating Maccabi Tel Aviv 78–67 in the final.http://www.sportnet.hr/Stranica.asp?S=raspored&SPORT=kosarka&C=9&N=7&L=33 https://web.archive.org/web/20020817144143/http://www.sportnet.hr/Stranica.asp?S=raspored&SPORT=kosarka&C=9&N=7&L=33 dead 2002-08-17 Results Opening tournament 2001 Competition system 41 teams in total with the qualification rounds, and 32 teams at the first group stage (the national domestic league champions from the best leagues, and a variable number of other clubs from the most important national domestic leagues), playing in a tournament system.
