EuroLeague is having talks with Dubai on a variety of issues, including the naming rights of the competition, hosting potentially the Final Four, and first and foremost expanding the league with a Dubai-based team.
However, the talks have just started and there’s a long way to go, as the following statement on behalf of EuroLeague CEO, Marshall Glickman indicates.
“I want to thank Mr. Abdulla Al Naboodah, President & Owner of the Dubai Basketball Club and the representatives of the city of Dubai and of ASM Global for hosting the league and all 13 shareholding clubs at the magnificent Coca-Cola Arena. The purpose of the visit was to exchange ideas and identify opportunities of potential collaboration. Of course, we are excited about the potential of Euroleague Basketball in UAE, but it is too early to address specifics. We are looking forward to continuing the conversation.”
All 13 EuroLeague clubs-shareholders were represented in the meeting which was held yesterday, but at this point the talks are still ongoing and no final decisions are made.
