After claiming first place in the Europa League last season, the JCU Gladiators Men’s Basketball team has proven itself as a powerhouse on the court. With grit, talent, and relentless teamwork, the squad made history and raised the bar for what’s possible at John Cabot University.

But this is just the beginning—we’re hungry for more. With a new season on the horizon, all eyes are on the Gladiators as they return to defend their title and aim even higher. Get ready for another unforgettable year of basketball. Go Gladiators!

 

In 2024, a delegation flew to Athens for the ACG International Sports Festival, and in Rome the entire team earned a 2nd place in the Champions league of the Universities of Rome Championship.

JCU Basketball Team was officially created in 2013 but started competing in the Universities of Rome Championship only in 2015/2016 in a 3-vs-3 tournament both for men and women.

JCU Men’s Basketball Team won the Championship Title for that year, while Women’s Basketball Team ranked in second place.

In 2017/2018 JCU Men’s Basketball Team earned, instead, a second place against the University of Foro Italico.

In 2018/2019 our Men’s Basketball Team closed the season in 3rd place after a though last day of games that saw Foro Italico winning the 1st place and American University of Rome the 2nd place.

In 2023, our team managed to gain a challenging 2nd place in the Europa League of the Championship.

In addition to the Universities of Rome Championship, the team also began to compete in an external tournament in 2018, the UISP Tournament. In this way, our Gladiators have the chance to play in an official 5-vs-5 tournament, as well.
