Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly nearing a decision to relocate its EuroLeague home games from Belgrade to Cyprus, according to Serbian sports outlet "Meridian Sport." The report indicates significant progress in negotiations with Cypriot officials following a recent visit by club representatives. These representatives met with local figures to expedite the process, making a move to Cyprus appear increasingly likely. However, the report did not specify a potential timeline for the relocation or provide official confirmation.
The team's desire to return to playing in Israel remains a key factor. "Meridian Sport" noted that a planned visit by EuroLeague CEO Jordi Bertomeu to Tel Aviv, which was announced about two weeks ago, has yet to occur. Maccabi Tel Aviv began the current European season playing away from home, having already hosted Besiktas in Belgrade. While the club is actively pursuing the Cyprus option, returning to Israel is still considered the preferred outcome.
