The senior team of Cedevita Olimpija recorded a victory on Sunday at Arena Stožice in the first round of the regular season of the AdmiralBet ABA League against Mega Superbet (117:81). For the Dragons, this was their third consecutive win in three official games of the new 2025/26 season.
It was another successful evening at Arena Stožice for Cedevita Olimpija’s senior team. The players led by head coach Zvezdan Mitrović defeated Belgrade’s Mega Superbet 117:81 in the opening round of the AdmiralBet ABA League regular season. For Ljubljana’s squad, this was their third consecutive win in official competition this season, and their first in the regional league, which has entered the new season with a revamped format. This was also the first time since 2023 that Cedevita Olimpija opened the regional season with a victory — back then, they also beat Mega in the first game of the year.
It’s worth noting that the 117 points scored in this game represent the ninth-best offensive performance by any team in the history of the regional competition, and the second-best in Cedevita Olimpija’s own history in the ABA League. Back in 2016, Cedevita defeated Zadar 120:62, setting a club record that still stands today.
Cedevita Olimpija now faces two consecutive road games — on Wednesday at 20:00, the Slovenian champions will face Hapoel Jerusalem in the second round of the EuroCup at Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall in Belgrade. Three days later, they’ll travel to Podgorica for the second round of the regional league to take on Budućnost VOLI. Fans will next have the chance to see Ljubljana’s team on their home court on Tuesday, October 14, when Aris from Thessaloniki visits Stožice, followed by another home game on Sunday, October 19, against Zadar in the regional league. Tickets for both home games are already available at vstopnice.olimpija.com.
