[edit] History
The club was founded on March 30, 1930 as Penya Spirit of Badalona. Apart from basketball, the club initially had teams involved in several sports including cycling, table tennis and football. In 1932 the club changed its name to Centre Esportiu Badaloní. In 1939 it became Club Joventut Badalona. By 1940 basketball was established as the main sport and green and black were adopted as the club colours. The club has regularly included the name of a sponsor in its name. Today, the club's sponsored name is DKV Joventut, after the Spanish insurance company DKV Seguros.
It is one of the only three teams, along with CB Estudiantes and Real Madrid to have played every year in the top Spanish league.
Joventut is considered to have one of the best youth teams in Europe. Players like Raül López, Jordi Villacampa, Rudy Fernández and Ricky Rubio were developed in Joventut's youth teams.
In 1994 Badalona became the champion of Euroleague and reached the top of European basketball.
In 2006 Badalona won the Eurocup, and in 2008 won the ULEB Cup.
