Euroleague Basketball has approved alternative venues for Israeli teams to play their 2024-25 home games should the impossibility of hosting games in Israel due to the current situation persist.
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv has proposed hosting all its home games at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, while Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem and Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv have proposed playing their home games at Samokov Arena in Samokov, Bulgaria.
The Israeli teams played their home games last season at alternative venues due to security concerns derived from the ongoing armed conflict in the region, with the aim always being to ensure the safety and well-being of players, staff, and fans.
Euroleague Basketball will continue to monitor the evolution of the situation, while staying in contact with all related parties, and will announce any modifications regarding the above decisions in the case that the situation in the region returns to normal.
