Hapoel Tel Aviv's EuroLeague basketball game against Dubai on October 30 will be played without spectators due to directives from UAE authorities. The decision is unusual for Dubai's home games this season, which have otherwise included fans. The match will be held at the Coca-Cola Arena with empty stands. This follows a similar closed-door game last year in Sarajevo.

Hapoel Tel Aviv's upcoming EuroLeague basketball game against Dubai on October 30 will be played without spectators, according to information obtained by Sport Channel. The decision was made in accordance with directives from relevant authorities in the United Arab Emirates, meaning the match will take place with empty stands at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

Details regarding the specific reason for this unusual decision have not yet been officially released. This marks a departure from Dubai's previous home games this season, which were held with fans in attendance.

Last year, Dubai hosted Hapoel Tel Aviv in a game played without fans in Sarajevo, Bosnia, on a neutral court. Now, they will host the Israeli team in their home arena.

Dubai has hosted other EuroLeague teams, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Crvena Zvezda, with fans present earlier this season. Their upcoming home game against Paris Basketball on October 27 is also scheduled to be open to the public. As of now, the closed-door policy applies only to the match against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
