Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing to relocate its home EuroLeague games from Serbia to Cyprus, with the team hoping to return to Israel soon. According to local Cypriot media, the club has received most of the necessary approvals for the move. The first game is tentatively scheduled for October 22, when Maccabi would host Real Madrid at the Spyros Kyprianou Arena in Limassol. The arena has a capacity of 8,000, but attendance will be limited to 5,000 spectators, with visiting teams receiving a small allocation of tickets. Security measures will be stringent, with the arena handed over to police 24 hours before each game for lockdown and exclusive use by Maccabi for practices. Special attention and thorough checks will be implemented for games against the three Turkish teams in the competition.
