Naturally, the host is Panathinaikos, which means Željko Obradović will lead the Greens against Partizan for the first time since his departure from the black-and-whites.

In addition to Panathinaikos and Partizan, Thessaloniki's PAOK will also compete, led by another former coach of the Belgrade black-and-whites, Andrea Trinchieri. The fourth participant will be Istanbul's Beşiktaş, whose bench is currently occupied by the Serbian national team's head coach, Dušan Alimpijević.

The black-and-whites have so far brought in Lamar Stevens, Alessandro Pajola, Kevarrius Hayes, and Nikola Tanasković, while captain Vanja Marinković has extended his contract. The arrivals of Wendell Moore and Luca Vildoza are expected to be officially announced soon.
