Maccabi Tel Aviv is grappling with a scheduling conflict that could prevent its Israeli players and staff from voting in the upcoming elections. The basketball team is scheduled to play against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade in the EuroLeague on Tuesday, October 27, which is election day in Israel. Currently, the team has a flight booked to Belgrade for the evening of Monday, October 26, making it impossible for those eligible to vote to do so before departing.
Club officials are exploring options to resolve this issue, including the possibility of postponing their flight to the morning of election day. This would allow the Israeli contingent to cast their ballots before traveling to Serbia. The situation is unique to Maccabi Tel Aviv among Israeli teams competing in European leagues, as their game falls directly on election day.
The team is actively seeking an alternative solution that ensures players and staff can exercise their right to vote before heading to Belgrade for the match.
