Luka Bottiroli, a 17-year-old junior player from MoraBanc Andorra's youth academy, has been promoted to train regularly with the club's first team for the 2026-2027 season.
Despite the absence of Aaron Ganal, the Andorran side continues to prioritise homegrown talent. Bottiroli, who has spent much of his formative years in the club's tricolour system, will join the daily routine of head coach Zan Tabak's ACB squad. He will balance this with permanent involvement in the Sènior B team, where he will train and compete throughout the campaign.
The youngster's path to the senior setup began last season, when he took part in preseason sessions and shared practice with the professional roster. Bottiroli also spent two seasons at Unicaja's academy before returning to the Principat to advance his development.
Club officials praise his skill, potential and international eligibility. They view the move as a key step in bridging the youth and first-team structures, creating pathways for academy products to reach elite levels.
This dual-track approach allows Bottiroli to gain senior minutes and experience while continuing to progress alongside professionals.
