Final Eight of the СYBL Championship will be held in St. Petersburg again

April 2, 2025

For the second year in a row, the Final Eight of the Russian U19 Championship will take place in St. Petersburg. The decisive matches of the  Children's Youth Basketball League will be held from April 24 to 29 at the Zenit Basketball Academy (Severnaya Road, 12).


For the first time in history, two children's youth teams will represent Zenit in the final stage of the CYBL Championship. Both St. Petersburg teams — Zenit U19, led by Dmitry Nikolaev, and Zenit 2008, coached by Petar Marinkovic — secured their spots in the Final Eight at the end of the second semifinal round. It is worth noting that Zenit U19 is the reigning tournament champion and is undoubtedly aiming to defend its title.
