Hapoel Tel Aviv basketball club has altered its usual preparation for an upcoming EuroLeague game against Anadolu Efes to allow its Israeli players and staff to vote in the upcoming Israeli elections. The team is scheduled to play Anadolu Efes in Sofia, Bulgaria, on Wednesday, October 28, the day after the elections. Typically, the team travels to the game's location two days prior, on October 26. However, due to the players' and staff's desire to be in Israel on election day, the team will hold its final practice in Israel on October 27, the day before the game, and then depart for Sofia later that day after everyone has cast their ballots. This marks a departure from their standard routine. Hapoel Tel Aviv faces a busy week, starting with a league game against Hapoel Jerusalem on Sunday, followed by the double EuroLeague week against Anadolu Efes and Dubai.

The game against the Turkish team will take place in Sofia on Wednesday, October 28.
