Zaragoza, tip-off: which is the best women’s basketball team in Europe? The Final Six returns with the support of Mondo technologies

The Aragonese capital makes history: the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe, fully equipped with Mondo sports flooring, seating and electronic solutions, hosts the first of three consecutive EuroLeague Women Final Six tournaments to be held in the city.

Zaragoza's Príncipe Felipe Sports Arena, the city's most important arena and fully equipped with Mondo LED scoreboards and seating, is already part of Spanish and European sporting history. But starting today, it further expands its legend by hosting the first of three consecutive Euroleague Women's Basketball Final Six matches to be played in the city.

Women's basketball is about to crown its new European champions. Although the winner of this prestigious title has not yet been determined, the venue for the coronation ceremony has already been chosen: Zaragoza, which is hosting the Euroleague Final Six for the second consecutive year. Six teams will compete for the title until Sunday: Galatasaray Cagdas Faktoring (Turkey), Fenerbahce Opet (Turkey), Basket Landes (France), Umana Reyer Venezia (Italy), Spar Girona (Spain), and Casademont Zaragoza (Spain). With packed stands testifying to the importance of the event, the matches will be played at the Palazzetto Príncipe Felipe, fully equipped by Mondo. The facility boasts new features: the Mondovideo Pro software was customized specifically for this Final Six.

Mondo will also provide technical support during all matches to resolve any issues that may arise.

A fully equipped sports arena by Mondo

The Príncipe Felipe Sports Arena, where matches are played, is a flagship of Mondo's sports and technology solutions. The structure features a large, four-sided LED cube dominating the center of the court; four LED screens—each with a surface area of ​​18 square meters and extremely high resolution thanks to a 5-millimeter pixel pitch (the distance between pixels; the smaller the distance, the higher the resolution)—positioned at the corners of the pavilion; a U-shaped LED television screen marking the perimeter of the playing court; four-sided LED cubes for ball possession control positioned above the MondoAthens baskets; and a large LED screen located outside the pavilion, in the ticketing area.

The versatility and connectivity of all these Mondo equipment allow for perfect synchronization. Furthermore, they can be used for multiple sports and to project any type of multimedia content, thus becoming new communication and marketing channels. For this edition of the Final Six, the designs projected using the powerful and revamped Mondovideo Pro software were customized to reflect the aesthetics of the competition.

Mondo's unmistakable style is present both on the playing field, featuring removable wooden flooring, and in the stands, thanks to the telescopic retractable seats. The halls adjacent to the arena also boast Mondo flooring.

Final Six 2026

The 2026 Final Six kicked off on Wednesday with Spar Girona versus Umana Reyer Venezia and Basket Landes versus Casademont Zaragoza. The semifinals will be played on Friday, while the third-place match (at 5:00 p.m.) and the final (at 8:00 p.m.) will be played on Sunday.

The Final Six is ​​the new format introduced by the Euroleague for the final phase of the competition: more games, more basketball, even more excitement.

Furthermore, it will be the first time a city has hosted the Women's Euroleague final phase for three consecutive years: Zaragoza will also host the 2027 edition. This achievement was made possible thanks to the collaboration between the City of Zaragoza, the Government of Aragon, FIBA ​​Europe, and the Casademont Zaragoza club.

The competition schedule:

  • Quarterfinals: Wednesday
  • Semifinals: Friday
  • Final: Sunday (with the final at 8:00 p.m.)

Zaragoza, from double to triple

Zaragoza hosts the EuroLeague Women's Final Six for the second consecutive year, but it won't be the last: in 2027, it will again host the competition's final phase. This makes the Aragonese capital the first city to host the EuroLeague Women's Final Six for three consecutive years. This achievement was made possible thanks to the collaboration between the City of Zaragoza, the Government of Aragon, FIBA ​​Europe, and the Casademont Zaragoza club.

In 2025, ZVVZ USK Praha (Czech Republic) won the title for the first time in its history in this very stadium, the Palaazzetto Sportivo Príncipe Felipe. Last year's Final Six also marked the culmination of the competition's new format, which consists of several phases: a qualifying round, a regular season (divided into two rounds), a play-in tournament (which determines the teams that will compete in the final stage), and the Final Six itself.
