Ros Casares Godella was a professional women's basketball team from Godella, Spain. The team played in the top Spanish league, Liga Femenina de Baloncesto, for many years. They were a very successful team in both Spain and Europe.

In 2012, the club decided to stop playing in the top Spanish league and the EuroLeague. They continued to play in lower divisions until 2014. After that, the club became part of Valencia Basket as their women's basketball section.

Team History

The club started in 1996 as Popular Bàsquet Godella. A few years later, in 1998, a construction company called Ros Casares bought the team.

In 2001, the team won its first league title under the new name. The next year, they won the league again and also their first national cup, the Copa de la Reina de Baloncesto. That season, they also played in the EuroLeague Women for the first time.

Over the next few years, Ros Casares became a strong team in the EuroLeague. They often competed against another strong team, UB Barcelona. After UB Barcelona stopped playing in 2007, Ros Casares entered its "golden era." During this time, they won both the national league and the national cup four times in a row. They also reached the EuroLeague finals twice.

In the 2011–12 season, Ros Casares had a fantastic year. They won the EuroLeague title by beating several strong teams. They also won their eighth national championship that year.

However, just two months after winning the EuroLeague, the club announced it would stop playing in the top leagues. They continued to play in lower divisions. In May 2014, all the teams from Ros Casares joined Valencia Basket.
