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]
