**BC Prometey** (Ukrainian: БК Прометей), also known as **Prometey Slobozhanske**, was a Ukrainian [basketball](/source/Basketball) club based in [Slobozhanske](/source/Slobozhanske,_Dnipropetrovsk_Oblast) and [Kamianske](/source/Kamianske).[1] It played in the [Ukrainian Basketball SuperLeague](/source/Ukrainian_Basketball_SuperLeague), the highest tier of basketball in Ukraine, from 2019 to 2022.

From 2022 to 2024, the team was based in [Riga](/source/Riga) and played in the [Latvian-Estonian Basketball League](/source/Latvian-Estonian_Basketball_League) due to the [Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine).

## History

The team was founded as Sports Club Prometey in September 2018, by Volodymyr Dubynsky and Pavlo Chukhno.[2] The plans were to develop a basketball and volleyball team.

In 2018, Prometey joined the Ukrainian Higher League, the national second tier. On October 8, 2018, they played their first game against Zolotyi Vik, winning 86–80. Prometey went on to win the league title at the first attempt. Therefore, it was promoted to the SuperLeague for the 2019–20 season.[3]

In its first SuperLeague season, Prometey was in third place before the season was shut down because of the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic). The following season, the club enrolled for the [FIBA Europe Cup](/source/FIBA_Europe_Cup) and made their European debut.

In 2021, Prometey won its first [Ukrainian SuperLeague](/source/Ukrainian_Basketball_SuperLeague) championship.[4] The following season, Prometey made its debut at the European stage when it played in the Qualifying Rounds of the [2021–22 Basketball Champions League](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Basketball_Champions_League). In its debut season, it immediately qualified for the regular season and then advanced to the [round of 16](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Basketball_Champions_League#Round_of_16). Following the [2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine), Prometey withdrew from the competition and disbanded all teams of the club as club president Volodymyr Dubinskyi cited: "All money and resources should go to the army. Win first. Then everything.".[5] All the club's teams were dissolved in March 2022.[6]

In June 2022, Prometey was included in the list of teams participating in the [2022–23 EuroCup Basketball](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_EuroCup_Basketball).[7] The team practiced and played their home games in [Riga](/source/Riga), as playing in Ukraine was not possible due to the war.[8] Prometey reached the semifinals of the EuroCup in 2023.

Prometey also joined the [Latvian–Estonian Basketball League](/source/Latvian%E2%80%93Estonian_Basketball_League), consisting of teams from Estonia and Latvia, and won two consecutive league titles.

The club shut down its operations in the summer of 2024, as the team had been dealing with legal troubles with [Ukrainian police](/source/National_Police_of_Ukraine) and investigators launching a high-profile investigation concerning club president Dubinskiy and his companies.[9] The club's men's and women's volleyball section were also shut down.
