Valencia Basket Club, S.A.D. is a professional basketball team based in Valencia, Valencian Community, that is part of Spain's top basketball league, the Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto. Having its origins in a basketball section of Valencia CF, the team was established in 1986, and gained popularity under his former denomination of Pamesa Valencia.

On May 4, 1988 the team won its first promotion to the ACB^[1] where the team remained until the 1994/1995 season.
