A Tournament with History
The basketball tradition in Menorca is consolidated with the 21st edition of the Torneig de Bàsquet Base Ciutat d'Alaior.
A sporting event that combines passion, tradition and youth in the heart of Menorca.
This tournament, which is held during the Easter school holidays, has as its main objective to promote grassroots sport among the cadet and infant categories, a fact that has been successfully achieved in previous editions. The city of Alaior is not just a place of competition, but it becomes a basketball festival, gathering more than 1.400 people between players, coaches and referees.
In last year's edition, 93 teams took part with a total of 1,400 participants. From the first edition until now, 627 teams have participated, 425 of them coming from outside the island, bringing together a total of more than 10,000 players.
The previous editions were a testimony to the company, sporting intensity and exemplary coexistence between all the participating teams. Moreover, beyond the rivalry, this tournament has consolidated itself as a meeting that promotes local support, with more than a hundred local businesses supporting this basketball festival. With five of them distributed around Menorca and a wide representation of regions, the next edition promises to be, once again, a feast for youth basketball and a symbol of unity and passion for sport.
Organised with great enthusiasm by C.B. Jovent D'Alaior, this tournament has the mission of promoting sport among the youngest, seeking to encourage grassroots sport and healthy coexistence between the different categories.

The tournament will take place in Alaior, a town in Menorca, and will bring together teams from all over the peninsula and the Balearic Islands. The key dates for the meetings will be from 16 to 19 April 2025, coinciding with the Easter school holidays.
