**Club Baloncesto Estudiantes, S.A.D.**,[1] (English: Club Basketball Students) known simply as **Estu** and as **Movistar Estudiantes** for sponsorship reasons, is a [basketball](/source/Basketball) team based in the city of [Madrid](/source/Madrid), Spain.

Some of its achievements include winning three [Spanish Cups](/source/Copa_del_Rey_de_Baloncesto) and reaching the [ACB Finals](/source/Liga_ACB) in 2004. Playing on the courts of said Institute, with a large number of teams of all categories from children to juniors, the club's youth academy has produced many great players and coaches of Spanish basketball throughout its history, such as [Alberto Herreros](/source/Alberto_Herreros), [Nacho Azofra](/source/Nacho_Azofra), [Aíto García Reneses](/source/A%C3%ADto_Garc%C3%ADa_Reneses), [José Miguel Antúnez](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Miguel_Ant%C3%BAnez), [Jesús Codina](/source/Jes%C3%BAs_Codina), [José Sagi-Vela](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Sagi-Vela), [Gonzalo Sagi-Vela](/source/Gonzalo_Sagi-Vela), [Fernando Martín](/source/Fernando_Mart%C3%ADn_(basketball)), [Alfonso Reyes](/source/Alfonso_Reyes_(basketball)), [Felipe Reyes](/source/Felipe_Reyes), [Carlos Jiménez](/source/Carlos_Jim%C3%A9nez), [Fran Guerra](/source/Fran_Guerra), [Sergio Rodríguez](/source/Sergio_Rodr%C3%ADguez), [Iñaki de Miguel](/source/I%C3%B1aki_de_Miguel), [Javier Beirán](/source/Javier_Beir%C3%A1n), [Pepu Hernández](/source/Pepu_Hern%C3%A1ndez), [Carlos Suárez](/source/Carlos_Su%C3%A1rez_(basketball)), [Darío Brizuela](/source/Dar%C3%ADo_Brizuela), [Jaime Fernández](/source/Jaime_Fern%C3%A1ndez_(basketball)), [Daniel Clark](/source/Daniel_Clark_(basketball)), [Jayson Granger](/source/Jayson_Granger), [Sebas Saiz](/source/Sebas_Saiz) or [Juancho Hernangómez](/source/Juancho_Hernang%C3%B3mez).

## History

The club Estudiantes was founded in April 1948 by a group of students (the "Estudiantes") of a public preparatory school (the Instituto [Ramiro de Maeztu](/source/Ramiro_de_Maeztu), IRM) in [Madrid](/source/Madrid) to form a team to practice sport during the school recesses. Mr. Antonio Magariños, Professor of Latin and head of studies of the high school, was the first president of the club. It held the position until 1964. From 1949 it has played in the maximum category of the Spanish basketball.

By the time when the first Spanish-wide season-long championship was organized in 1955, by the Spanish Basketball Association (FEB), it was one of the six clubs participating in that tournament, as the second best team from the Province of Madrid (the first being [Real Madrid](/source/Real_Madrid_Baloncesto)). Until 2021, it had always participated in the premier [Spanish basketball league](/source/Basketball_in_Spain) along with [Real Madrid](/source/Real_Madrid_Baloncesto) and [Joventut](/source/Joventut_Badalona). It was also one of two only Spanish basketball clubs with teams both at the top male and female Spanish championships.

In May 1963, Estudiantes won their first trophy, the [Spanish Cup](/source/Copa_del_Rey_de_Baloncesto), against [Real Madrid](/source/Real_Madrid_Baloncesto). In April 1986, after several decades without sporting success, Estudiantes won their first [Copa Príncipe de Asturias](/source/Copa_Pr%C3%ADncipe_de_Asturias_ACB) against [Granollers](/source/CB_Granollers), led by the American forward [David Russell](/source/David_Russell_(basketball)). The 1990s and 2000s would be the golden age of the college club. While competing every year in ACB and European competitions, he achieved success and won trophies. In April 1992, a month after winning his [second Spanish Cup](/source/1992_Copa_del_Rey_de_Baloncesto) against [CAI Zaragoza](/source/CB_Zaragoza), Estudiantes reached the [1992 EuroLeague Final Four](/source/1992_EuroLeague_Final_Four) in [Istanbul](/source/Istanbul), finishing in 4th place. It was his [Annus mirabilis](/source/Annus_mirabilis). In March 1999, the team played his only European final, in the [1998–99 Korać Cup](/source/1998%E2%80%9399_FIBA_Kora%C4%87_Cup), by defeated by [FC Barcelona](/source/FC_Barcelona_B%C3%A0squet). In January 2000, Estu won his [third Spanish Cup](/source/2000_Copa_del_Rey_de_Baloncesto) against [Valencia](/source/Valencia_Basket), the last one until today. In the [2003–04 ACB season](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_ACB_season), it reached the Spanish [ACB League](/source/Liga_ACB) finals, where they could not win against [FC Barcelona](/source/FC_Barcelona_B%C3%A0squet).

In May 2012, after several irregular seasons, marked by a bad economic situation, Estudiantes was relegated for the first time in its history from the top tier of Spanish basketball, but remained in the league because [LEB Oro](/source/LEB_Oro) champion [CB 1939 Canarias](/source/CB_1939_Canarias) didn't present the required documentation and money.[2] In May 2016, again, the team was relegated, but remained in the ACB because champion [Palencia Baloncesto](/source/Palencia_Baloncesto) didn't present the required documentation and money. The club's irregular sporting situation could have been resolved with more efficient management, but finally, after several relatively stable years, the team's relegation was completed during the [coronavirus pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Spain) in May 2021. Since then, Estu remains in [LEB Oro](/source/Liga_Espa%C3%B1ola_de_Baloncesto), fighting for promotion back to the ACB and gradually resolving its financial situation. Even so, during this negative period, Estudiantes has managed to expand their trophy collection, winning the [Copa Princesa de Asturias](/source/Copa_Princesa_de_Asturias) twice more against [Granada](/source/Fundaci%C3%B3n_CB_Granada) (2022) and [Básquet Coruña](/source/B%C3%A1squet_Coru%C3%B1a) (2024). In January 2026, Estudiantes added to its list of achievements once again, winning the newly created competition, the [Spain Cup](/source/Spain_Cup), against [Palencia Baloncesto](/source/Palencia_Baloncesto), the host team of the Final Four.
