Sevilla Basketball will request precautionary measures from the Higher Sports Council following the ACB's refusal.

It took an hour for Baloncesto Sevilla to speak out against the ACB 's decision rejecting the Seville team's affiliation so it can compete in the Endesa League. As expected, the Seville club, which belongs to the Hereda Group and is chaired by Pedro Fernández (and which the ACB refers to as Real Betis Baloncesto SAD), would not stand idly by if the Association's resolution went against its interests. Baloncesto Sevilla, according to reports, will now go to the Higher Sports Council (CSD) seeking precautionary measures that would allow it to join the ACB after achieving promotion, which it has since been unable to ratify in court on June 8 at the Caja Mágica in Madrid.
The club's statement on its social media reads in full as follows: "Following the decision adopted today by the ACB General Assembly, in which our application for membership for the 2025-26 season was rejected, the club has decided to go to the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) to request the adoption of precautionary measures . We understand that this measure is necessary to safeguard our rights and interests, and we trust that the CSD will act with the responsibility and speed that the situation requires. The club will continue working with the utmost seriousness and commitment, keeping its fans and all sporting bodies informed of any developments that may occur during the process ."

Thus, Baloncesto Sevilla is now embarking on an alternative path to defend its interests, the outcome of which remains to be seen. ABC de Sevilla reported earlier this week that the club would resort to other bodies and the courts , as other clubs have done before against the ACB, including Obradoiro, Ourense, and Baloncesto Sevilla itself, then known as Real Betis Energía Plus, in 2017.
