Basketball Club BURCH was founded on the 21st of July 2014. This is the first basketball team in B&H that was established by a private university, in this case the International Burch University, which is based in Sarajevo.
This way, the International Burch University aims to implement the education method where, besides quality education, they offer a chance to students to show their sports talent as well. Each player of the Club is the student at one of the faculties on the International Burch University and at the same time a user of athletic scholarship, which demonstrates the importance of this project of education of young people without neglecting their professional sports career.
