ENBL VIMODROM Final Four 2026 opens with a semifinal duel between the 2025 champions CSO Voluntari and the 2025 bronze medalists Dziki Warszawa.
While playing in the Final Four is a solid achievement on its own, every team entering semifinals eyes the main prize – the bright flame of hope burns with a special energy.

They are eyeing a third consecutive final.
Dziki Warszawa have reasons to be equally proud.
The Polish club finished its inaugural European season with a bronze medal.
An upset win in the quarterfinal series against Iraklis BC and return to the Final Four in a 26 team competition means they have matched their achievements and surpassed expectations...again.
They are one win away from the 2026 final.
