Basile's No. 5 Jersey to Be Retired at Fortitudo

Fortitudo Bologna is preparing to retire Gianluca Basile's No. 5 jersey. The ceremony will take place at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, when the team plays Urania Milano. The club is expected to announce the details of the ceremony in the coming days.

Basile was one of the key figures in the championships won in 2000 and 2005. Fans remember him as a player who stood out both for his performance on the court and for his popular personality. Basile, who is known for his "Tiro ignorante" style, is reported to be attending the ceremony.

Another piece of news from the club concerns Cecilia Zandalasini. President Petrucci congratulated Zandalasini.

The team captain is planned to be in the squad for the Sunday match against Pistoia. Fortitudo is expected to start its weekend schedule with these two important developments.
