2012 Euroleague Women’s Final — Two Spanish Teams – Powerhouse Ros Casares vs Underdog Dream Team Rivas Ecopolis. No team would have imagined Rivas Ecopolis in the finals, especially after Spanish star Amaya Valdemoro going out earlier this season with wrist injuries in Euroleague play. However, their dreams have come true and Rivas will not stop.
Ros Casares a team that has one of the deepest benches in Europe, swept through the Final Eight with ease. Sunday’s Final will not be easy for either team, it will be interesting however.
Sunday will decide the best team in Europe. Later both teams will begin the Spanish League playoffs less than six days later on April 7th.
With the marks of top Spanish National teams and figures such as Rafael Nadal who just won the Wimbledon after a 44 year drought for Spanish Players and the Spanish Soccer team who also won the Euro2008 after not winning in the 40s. The national teams for Spain both women and men are hoping to follow in those footsteps in Pekin during the Olympic Summer Basketball Games!
