Maccabi Tel Aviv is facing a logistical challenge regarding the upcoming Israeli election day, Tuesday, October 27th. The basketball club is scheduled to play against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade in the EuroLeague on that same day, the seventh round of the competition. Currently, the team's flight to Belgrade is set for the evening of Monday, October 26th, which would prevent Israeli players and staff from voting.
In response, the club is exploring options to postpone the flight to the morning of election day. This would allow those eligible to vote to cast their ballots before departing for Serbia. The situation is complicated because Maccabi's game falls on election day itself, unlike other Israeli teams participating in European competitions.
The team is actively seeking an alternative arrangement that ensures Israeli players and staff can exercise their right to vote before traveling to Belgrade for the match.
