Zornotza Saskibaloi Taldea, also known as Ametx Zornotza for sponsorship reasons, is a basketball team based in Amorebieta-Etxano, Spain.

History

After several seasons in Primera División, the club rose to Liga EBA thanks to the expansion of the group A of the league. After three seasons in the fourth tier, the club surprisingly promoted to LEB Plata, where it played until 2017. In its last season, Zornotza reached the final of the promotion playoffs to LEB Oro, but was finally eliminated by Comercial Ulsa Ciudad de Valladolid.

On 18 July 2017, the club announced it could not fulfill the requirements in the league and it will appeal against the decision of FEB.[1]
