After the enforcement of the *‘Competition Balance Standards (CBS)*’ rules, part of Financial Sustainability &  Fair Play regulations, at the start of the 2025-26 EuroLeague season, Euroleague Basketball made public a compliance report on participating teams.

In accordance with the applicable regulations, the following measures will be immediately enforced:

“*In all these cases, the delta between the committed remunerations for that season and the LRL must be equally distributed among the players with a professional contract who are on the roster at that time. Should this not be the case or any installment not be paid in due time, this amount will be considered an overdue payable.”*

[As announced previously](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/es/news/euroleague-basketball-introduces-competitive-balance-standards-for-2025-26-season/), the Lower Remuneration Level (LRL) for the 2025-26 season was set at €5,846,983 net.
