Wikipedia - BC Astana
Astana Basketball Club (Kazakh: Astana Basketbol Kluby), commonly referred to as BC Astana, is a Kazakh professional basketball club that is based in Astana, Kazakhstan. Founded in 2011, it has competed in the Kazakhstan Basketball Championship and the VTB United League since, obtaining many domestic titles in the process.
History
BC Astana was created in March 2011, with the aim of competing in the VTB United League. Valery Tikhonenko was chosen as the team's general director. There were doubts expressed by other clubs in the VTB United League, about whether or not the club would be a good addition to the competition, due to the lack of basketball tradition in Kazakhstan; but the side answered all the admission requirements, including their budget, stadium (a revamped Saryarka Velodrome) and the proximity of hotels, and an international airport. The side received the totality of its funding from the Samruk-Kazyna sovereign wealth fund.
They would sign a number of Kazakhstani players from successful side Astana Tigers, also recruiting their head coach, Vitaly Strebkov, to serve as the team's assistant coach.
In their first season in the VTB United regional league, the team from Kazakhstan won 7 games out of 16 during 2011–12 regular season, including games against strong sides, such as Žalgiris and the defending title holders, Khimki, nearly reaching the playoffs. They had more success on the domestic front, winning the Kazakhstani national domestic league championship, and the Kazakhstani Cup.
The team became a part of the Astana Presidential Club multi-sports club, when it was formed in December 2012.
The team's roster is made up of talented players from Kazakhstan as well as international players, bringing a diverse range of skills and experience to the court. With a dedicated coaching staff and a commitment to developing young talent, BC Astana is constantly striving to improve and compete at the highest level.
Off the court, BC Astana is involved in various community initiatives and works to promote the sport of basketball in Kazakhstan. Through their success on the court and their dedication to their fans and community, BC Astana has become a respected and admired team in the world of Kazakhstani basketball.
