Maccabi Tel Aviv Owner Seen With Richard Daiz Ahead of EuroLeague Opener

Maccabi Tel Aviv began its 2026-27 EuroLeague season against Lyon-Villeurbanne, but a notable presence was observed before the game: Richard Daiz was seen sitting alongside owner Shai Regev. Daiz's appearance comes amid the ongoing ownership dispute within Maccabi Tel Aviv, which has become a central issue surrounding the club recently. The conflict involves mutual right of first refusal, Daiz's appeal to the court, and a scheduled arbitration.

The presence of Daiz, a potential contender for club ownership, alongside Regev, the current owner, has fueled speculation about the future leadership of the basketball team. The legal and arbitration processes are expected to determine the ultimate control of the club.
