Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing to move its EuroLeague home games to Cyprus for the upcoming period. According to a report from Cyprus, the club is interested in holding its home matchups against Olympiacos and Panathinaikos without any spectators. The reported reason for this request is the concern that Greek fans of the visiting teams might significantly outnumber Maccabi's supporters in Cyprus, potentially making the home games feel like away games for the Israeli team. However, the Meridian report indicates that no final decision has been made yet regarding playing without a crowd, and the games have not been definitively scheduled as such.
