All tickets for an upcoming Euro League basketball game featuring a revived Yerevan club have been sold out, and there is still a demand for more, an Armenian basketball boss said at a press conference Wednesday.

“We even asked the staff at the Mika sport hall, the venue of the game, to provide an additional 250 chairs (in addition to already unavailable 1,160). But this still may prove not enough for all who wish to attend as the interest in the game is very high,” said Hrach Rustamyan, the Basketball Federation president.

In round two of the women’s basketball European League on Thursday, the Yerevan club Hatis beat Chevakata (Vologda, Russia) 103-99. This was the event Armenian basketball fans have waited for – for nearly 20 years.

A Serb basketball player has won the affection of Armenian fans after last week’s victorious game of her local club against visitors from Russia in the Women’s Basketball Euro League in which she made a crucial contribution.

Bojana Vulic, a forward-center for Hatis, has a contract with the revitalized Yerevan club until the end of Euro League’s preliminaries, but is certain to consider it extended if her club manages to progress to the next stage of the prestigious pan-European tournament.
