About

Pallacanestro Virtus Roma, commonly known as Virtus Roma, is an Italian professional basketball club based in Rome, Lazio. It plays in the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA), since the 2019–20 season. It was formerly a major side in Europe, winning the 1983–84 FIBA European Champions Cup (EuroLeague), and at one time being one of only 13 clubs to hold a EuroLeague A license. However, its standing later waned, and Virtus became less competitive in both Europe and the domestic LBA - which it had won in 1983 – before being voluntarily relegated to the Italian second division in July 2015.
