Euroleague CEO and Competition Manager Diego Giann are visiting Israel this week to assess the possibility of resuming Euroleague and EuroCup games in the country. These games have not been played in Israel for over three years, with a brief exception last season. The visit comes amid a recent period of relative calm in the region and intensified efforts by Israeli clubs to bring home games back.
The Euroleague CEO and Giann are scheduled to attend Maccabi Tel Aviv's game against Bnei Sakhnin at Bloomfield Stadium, accompanied by Shimon Mizrahi and Jason Levien. Following the football match, they will visit Menora Mivtachim Arena to witness the season opener between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Galil Elyon.
Maccabi Tel Aviv has urged its season ticket holders to fill the arena for the football game, aiming to demonstrate to the Euroleague officials a sense of security and normalcy in Israel. The club announced the visit on September 19, stating its purpose is for the officials to observe the security situation and daily life in Israel as part of the club's campaign to host home games.
