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 club is slated to play a EuroLeague game against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade on Tuesday, October 27, which is Election Day in Israel. Currently, the team's flight to Belgrade is scheduled for Monday evening, October 26, making it impossible for those eligible to vote to do so before departing.
The club is actively exploring solutions to allow its Israeli personnel to exercise their right to vote. One possibility being considered is postponing the flight to Belgrade until Tuesday morning, giving voters a chance to cast their ballots before traveling. This situation is unique among Israeli teams competing in European leagues, as Maccabi's game falls directly on Election Day.
The team is working to find an alternative arrangement that ensures players and staff can vote and still make it to Belgrade for the crucial EuroLeague match.
