The best players of the FIBA ​​Women’s EuroLeague were recognized at a special ceremony held in Mersin.

Fenerbahçe’s Belgian player Emma Meesseman was named MVP for the second consecutive year.

The awards were determined by votes from EuroLeague coaches, team captains, media, and fans. Three-time EuroLeague Women’s champion Sonja Vasic was honored with the Sporting Legacy Award at the ceremony, where Fenerbahçe’s Meesseman was named MVP again this year, following her previous year’s victory.

Speaking at the ceremony, Meesseman said, “Winning the MVP award is always special, but people who know me know it’s not my goal.” Referring to tomorrow’s match against Villeneuve, the Belgian player said, “We know Villeneuve and we know it will be a tough, but most importantly, a beautiful match.” Meesseman received her MVP jacket from her mother, Sonja Tankrey, who surprised her in the city.
