69 years since Real Madrid basketball's first league game

On March 31, 1957, Real Madrid played its first game in the Basketball League. It was against Estudiantes, whom they defeated 76-61. That inaugural edition was contested by six clubs and was highly competitive, as it was decided in Real Madrid's favor in the final matchday.

The squad that began the legend of Real Madrid in the League was led by Ignacio Pinedo and had Alfonso Martínez as its offensive standout, who ended up being the top scorer of the tournament. Since then, Real Madrid has been the best team in the history of the competition, with 38 titles.
