The highly anticipated Tel Aviv derby between Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv is reportedly scheduled to be held in Limassol, Cyprus, according to a new report from Cypriot outlet protathlima. The game is expected to take place on November 12. Both Israeli basketball clubs, Maccabi Tel Aviv (the "Yellows") and Hapoel Tel Aviv (the "Reds"), have been unable to host their EuroLeague games in Israel and have been playing in Serbia and Bulgaria, respectively. While the teams had hoped to return to hosting games in Israel soon, this move to Cyprus suggests a continued delay in that possibility. The Spiros Kiprianos arena in Limassol, which has a capacity of approximately 8,000 spectators, is slated to be the venue for these games, despite facing criticism within Cyprus. The teams are still hoping to eventually return to hosting games in Israel.
