Wikipedia - BC Rustavi
BC Rustavi (Georgian: საკალათბურთო კლუბი რუსთავი) is a professional basketball club based in the city of Rustavi, Georgia. The club competes in the Georgian Superliga, and plays its home games in the Rustavi sports arena.
History
The club was founded in 1991 as BC Azoti, and began competing in the newly established Georgian national league. It is one of only 2 clubs (the other being Dinamo Tbilisi) to have participated in the league continuously throughout its existence. Rustavi challenged for high positions in the league on a consistent basis, and recorded numerous top 3 finishes, always falling short of winning trophies.
The club's fortunes changed in 2006, when it acquired major sponsorship from the investment company 'Energy Invest'. They were now able to attract some of the best Georgian players to the club, as well as foreign imports. As a result, Rustavi convincingly won 4 league championships in a row, between 2007 and 2010. In addition, they won the Georgian cup in 2009, and numerous smaller national competitions. At the end of the 2009/10 season, 'Energy Invest' announced that the level of funding for the club would diminish, forcing them to compete with a young team and modest ambitions for 2 years. In 2012, the funding increased once more, and the squad was considerably strengthened.
Rustavi took part in various international competitions on several occasions, such as the Korać Cup in 1997, 98 and 99; the Eurocup in 2007; and the EuroChallenge in 2008, but failed to advance beyond the qualifying rounds on each occasion.
El club cuenta con una plantilla de jugadores experimentados y talentosos, como el capitán Beka Burjanadze, el alero estadounidense Ben Strong y el base-escolta georgiano Giorgi Tsintsadze. El entrenador del equipo es Zurab Khomeriki, un exjugador profesional con una amplia experiencia en el baloncesto europeo.
Rustavi es conocido por su juego rápido y ofensivo, con una media de más de 90 puntos por partido en la liga georgiana. El equipo también es muy fuerte en defensa, con una media de menos de 80 puntos encajados por partido.
En la temporada 2022-23, Rustavi aspira a ganar su decimotercer campeonato de liga y a realizar un buen papel en las competiciones europeas. El club cuenta con una plantilla joven y ambiciosa, y está decidido a hacer historia en el baloncesto georgiano.
