Euroleague CEO and Competition Manager Diego Gian are expected to visit Israel early next week to assess the situation and decide on the potential return of European basketball games to the country. The visit follows discussions between the Euroleague CEO, Gian, and Shimon Mizrahi, the chairman of Maccabi Tel Aviv, regarding the possibility of Israeli teams playing their home games in Israel again.
Currently, Israeli teams Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague, along with Hapoel Jerusalem in the EuroCup, are hosting their European matches abroad due to the ongoing security situation. Maccabi Tel Aviv has been playing its home games in Belgrade, Serbia, while also exploring options to relocate them to Cyprus.
The visit by the Euroleague officials is seen as a crucial step in determining whether these teams can resume playing in front of their home crowds in Israel.
