The final agenda of the 2025 Coaches Congress at OAKA has been finalized with the Xavi Pascual vs Pablo Laso and the Dimitris Itoudis vs Zeljko Obradovic coaching “duels” stealing the show.

This is, however, just one part of a four-day coaching showcase that includes four exclusive workshops with limited access, three panel discussions with the participation of EuroLeague legends like Theodoros Papaloukas, and lectures by EHCB vice-president Giannis Sfairopoulos, EuroLeague champion Sarunas Jasikevicius, Chus Mateo, Andreas Pistiolis, Dusan Alimpijevic, Sasa Obradovic, and last but not least, Toronto Raptors' Darko Rajakovic. 

Here's the full schedule of the biggest coaching event in the world, which is being held this year at the legendary OAKA Arena in Athens, Greece between the 3rd and the 6th of July.
