Ilirija, Ljubljana

Beginnings

  In the years 1955 and 1956, a basketball section of the sporting society TVD Partizan of Zgornja Šiška in Ljubljana has been established, led by Franc Babnik, the President. The section has been functioning under the guidance of dr. Miran Rojina and the history of Basketball society Ilirija has begun. At that time, basketball used to be played in their home hall at Vodnikova street 155 in Šiška. After the reorganization of TVD Partizan in 1957, the basketball section has transformed itself into Basketball Club Ilirija. The first president was Vlado Senčar, who used to be a Director of the Konim company. Mitja Lavrič was the first head coach and in 1957 the club started competing in the competitions organized by Ljubljana Basketball Federation.

Glory Days

Ilirija Basketball Club has had some notable seasons back in the former Yugoslavia, having won the Slovenian Basketball League in the years 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973 and the 1981/82 season.

Over the past few years, Ilirija has come back to the highest level of club basketball in domestic competitions, as in the 2019/20 season, it has won the Slovenian Second Basketball League and qualified for the First Division of Slovenian National Championship. In the 2023/24 season, the club takes part in the NLB ABA League 2 Qualifiers for the first time ever.
