OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Thursday 29th June 2023

Good afternoon,

After the recent announcement about my appointment as the new Euroleague Basketball Officiating Senior Director,

I would like to inform to the media about my retirement as an active professional basketball referee both in ACB and Euroleague Basketball competitions.

I am ending my referee career after 30 years of dedication at this job that has given so much to me and that I have enjoyed very much. I will assume this new role as executive with great enthusiasm and the firm intention of giving my best at this new stage.

Sincerely,

Daniel Hierrezuelo
