'''WABA League''', commonly known as the '''Adriatic League''', is a top-level regional [[basketball]] league, featuring female teams from [[Serbia]], [[Montenegro]], [[Austria]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Slovenia]] and [[Croatia]]. Clubs from [[Turkey]], [[North Macedonia]], [[Hungary]] and [[Italy]] had their representatives in WABA League in past seasons. Since 2012 a Cadet WABA League and since 2014 Pionir WABA League is also played.
==History== ===Formation and early years=== WABA League was established in 2001 as EWWL League. In its first season, it included six teams from four countries (Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina). After the regular season, it held a tournament in which the three best teams played, which was won by [[ŽKK Athlete Celje|Athlete Celje]]. In the next season, the league expanded to eight teams, and the final tournament was altered so that the placement included the four top teams. At the final tournament, the winner was [[ŽKK Željezničar Sarajevo|Željezničar Sarajevo]].

In 2003, the league changed its name to EWWL Trocal League, which lasted until 2006. During these seasons, the number of teams playing in the league varied from nine to twelve. From 2004 to 2006, it had a representative from Macedonia and then one from Bulgaria in the 2006–07 season. Austrian clubs left the competition in 2004. Since 2003, the competing teams have been from Serbia and Montenegro. In 2006, the league changed its name to WABA NBL which was used until 2008. In 2006, the [[Vojko Herksel Cup|WABA Cup]] launched, which existed until 2010 and was attended by participants in the league. In 2007, the WABA Cup bore the name [[Vojko Herskel]]. In the 2008–09 season, the league was named after WABA Multipover; in 2009–10 season, it was named IWBL.
===2010s=== In 2010, the league changed its name to MŽRKL. The Vojko Herksel Cup was last played. In the 2012–13 season, the league included the Hungarian [[PEAC-Pécs]], and the [[Belgrade]] [[ŽKK Partizan|Partizan]] achieved a record in its history, playing 32 matches in the national competitions (regional league, championship and cup) all season without suffering a defeat. In the 2013–14 season, the format of the competition changed. The twelve participating teams were divided into two groups of six teams. Four first-placed teams were placed in the quarterfinals, with the winners to the Final Four.
In the 2015-16 season, the league introduced instead of quarterfinals League 6, in which the first phase the two groups are placed by 3 teams. The League 6 transmitted the results achieved against teams from the same group in the first phase they finished the League 6. League 6 plays a dual circuit system (one game at home and one away) against teams that have qualified from the opposite group previous stage of the competition. The four best teams in League 6 advance to the Final Four.
In September 2016, the league officially changed its name to WABA League.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mzrkl.org/vest.php?id=1128|title=MŽRKL - Međunarodna ženska regionalna košarkaška liga|access-date=3 September 2016|archive-date=10 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170510064535/http://www.mzrkl.org/vest.php?id=1128|url-status=dead}}</ref> In June 2017, the league signed a sponsorship contract with tourist agency BTravel and officially changed its name to BTravel WABA League.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://waba-league.com/2429-2/|title=Igra i Kraljevo, sutra žreb, sponzor i novo ime lige|date=29 June 2017 |access-date=21 July 2017}}</ref>
