With LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne failing to comply with the Low Remuneration Level requirements, Euroleague Basketball officially confirmed measures to be enforced, according to the Competition Balance Standards regulations.
More details on the compliance report of Euroleague Basketball were announced on Monday.
Per the press release: “After the enforcement of the ‘Competition Balance Standards (CBS)’ rules, part of Financial Sustainability & Fair Play regulations, at the start of the 2025-26 EuroLeague season, Euroleague Basketball made public a compliance report on participating teams.
The CBS are designed to improve competitive balance, promote sustainable club financial models, and align stakeholders’ objectives through the establishment of maximum and minimum player remuneration levels that correlate with average club market revenues.
As stated in article 10.8 of such regulations, “Clubs must reach the LRL by the end of the EuroLeague’s registration period. Previously, clubs must likewise have committed a minimum of 80% of their defined LRL upon closing registration for EuroLeague Regular Season Round 1.”
Upon completion of the compliance review, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne was found to be non-compliant with the minimum expenditure requirement of 80% at the close of the EuroLeague Regular Season Round 1 registration process, as stipulated in Article 10.8 of the regulations.
In accordance with the applicable regulations, the following measures will be immediately enforced:
“In all these cases, the delta between the committed remunerations for that season and the LRL must be equally distributed among the players with a professional contract who are on the roster at that time. Should this not be the case or any installment not be paid in due time, this amount will be considered an overdue payable.”
As announced previously, the Lower Remuneration Level (LRL) for the 2025-26 season was set at €5,846,983 net.
Euroleague Basketball will continue to monitor compliance with the Competitive Balance Standards.”
