Club · Azerbaijan · FIBA Europe Cup
Ganja had no basketball club of its own until 2019, when Gəncə BK was set up. The club's home for the past two seasons has been the Gəncə İdman Sarayı, opened by President Ilham Aliyev on 9 April 2024 on a site covering some 40,000 square metres, though the basketball hall itself seats just 365. It was that arena that let Gəncə BK become the first Azerbaijani club from outside Baku to play in the FIBA Europe Cup.
Domestically the cup has become the club's measure of itself. After the 2023 win, Gəncə BK reached the final again in 2025, losing to NTD, then returned in 2026 to beat Sabah 89:82 and take the trophy for a second time. That pairing of results against NTD and Sabah in successive finals has turned the Azerbaijan Cup into the fixture that defines Gəncə BK's season.
