Pallacanestro Cantù

Cantù play their home games in Desio. PalaDesio , with 6,700 seats, has been the stand-in since the club left the Palasport Pianella, which held 3,910. A dedicated arena, Cantù Arena, is due to open for the 2026/27 season with 5,200 seats for basketball.

The nickname La Regina d'Europa . The Saporta Cup was the second-tier European club competition of its day.

In 1982 they beat Maccabi Tel Aviv for the EuroLeague, then called the Coppa dei Campioni. A year later they beat Olimpia Milano, a domestic rival, for the same trophy. The Intercontinental Cup followed each of the two European Cup wins in a different way: in 1975 they beat Real Madrid, and in 1982 Flamengo.

Pierluigi Marzorati is the player most closely tied to all of it.

The Coppa Italia, which Cantù lost in the finals of 2002–03 and 2010–11, is still not on the shelf.
