The Armenia Basketball League A (Armenian: Բասկետբոլի Ա լիգա), is the top men's official basketball league in Armenia. The first season of the competition was launched in 2017.[1]
Since 2019 it has become the VBET A-League after a headline sponsorship agreement with the Armenian gambling operator VBET.
History
After the first steps of the Armenia national basketball team, the Basketball Federation of Armenia decided the creation of the new League A for developing new players for the national team.[2]
The Federation has also the intention to develop national basketball by talking with clubs, trying to sign Armenian players that try to play abroad and abling teams to qualify for the European competitions in further seasons.[3]
