Maccabi Tel Aviv is actively exploring options to host its EuroLeague games in Cyprus as a temporary solution while working to bring them back to Israel. A crucial meeting is scheduled to take place at the Spyros Kyprianou Arena in Limassol, Cyprus, where a final decision is expected regarding the venue's suitability. Representatives from Maccabi Tel Aviv, the police, and the EuroLeague will attend to assess security, crowd separation, and other critical factors for hosting games.
Reports suggest that the EuroLeague is likely to approve the move to Cyprus, with the first potential game hosted there by the end of October. The President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, is reportedly involved in the discussions and has met with Shimon Mizrahi, a representative of Maccabi Tel Aviv, concerning the matter. This potential arrangement could present a significant security challenge for the Cypriot police, as Maccabi Tel Aviv would face Turkish teams in the EuroLeague at the Limassol arena. The police have already begun formulating an initial security plan for the team.
