EuroLeague CEO made a brief, 24-hour visit to Israel on Saturday, accompanied by Shimon Mizrahi, the chairman of Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Mizrahi revealed details of the visit to Sport Channel, stating that he had worked hard to arrange the trip, which was postponed from an earlier date due to a game in Abu Dhabi and a subsequent meeting in Italy. During their short stay, the CEO of EuroLeague and his delegation met with diplomatic representatives in Israel.
Mizrahi emphasized that the visitors were shown the reality on the ground, including attending a football match with 24,000 fans. He expressed hope that this experience would convince them to allow games to be held in Israel again. "I hope there will be a quick return and that the CEO of EuroLeague will make his own decision, not necessarily a vote," Mizrahi said, highlighting the importance of fan engagement for the EuroLeague.
Mizrahi also described Tel Aviv as vibrant and active, with no apparent issues, questioning what might prevent the return of games. The visit aimed to demonstrate that Israel is a viable and safe location for hosting EuroLeague matches.
