Svenska Basketligan, or theSwedish Basketball League (SBL), is the premier league for professionalbasketball inSweden. The league was originally established in 1992 as Basketligan and was known as that prior to the season of 2006–07, but when theSwedish companyObol Investment signed an agreement with theSwedish Basketball Federation in early October 2006, the league was renamedObol Basketball League (OBL). In January 2007 the name was changed toLigan, meaning simplythe League.
On October 6, 2006, theSwedish Basketball Federation signed a 15-year agreement withSwiss companyObol Investment.[1] Part of the deal was thatBasketligan would be renamedObol Basketball League. Other parts of the deal include that the winning team would receive prize money if the team were to play in theEuroLeague during the following season. The agreement lasted for 15 years, but after five years Obol would make an evaluation and have the rights to then cancel the deal, if they so wish.
