I have heard and read the following rumor
Efes Pilsen Istanbul forced to change name
Turkey regulatory agency for the spirits and tobacco products (TAPDK) banned advertising of such products. By the end of this year Efes Pilsen will have to change its name. Turkish team was established in 1976 and won 13 national titles and Korac cup. Efes beer factory did not say anything about how this law will effect their relationship with the club. Also they are official sponsors of Euroleague and rumors say that company wants to have a team in Euroleague with their name. Company is interested in Zagreb Cibona but there were no serious dialogues between company and team yet.
