History
Basketball is a popular sport in Birgeshir as witnessed by their oldest sports club,now defunct VSK Birgeshir. Another birgesh club was founded in 2013,the Mëzal Viziers that competed along with VSK Birgeshir in the Micras Basketball Association. However,when the league died,the VSK Birgeshir became the Birgeshir national basketball team while the Mëzal Viziers became an inactive team but translated their name from english to birgesh as "Mëzal Tjatylær". In 2018,however,Deniz Yürük decided to found the first domestic basketball league in order to satisfy the birgesh basketball fans every year. From season 2020,the league expanded to 8 teams.
