The upcoming Tel Aviv derby, a EuroLeague basketball game, is reportedly set to take place in Cyprus. Maccabi Tel Aviv, currently playing its home games in Serbia since October 7th, is preparing for a potential move to the neighboring island. This comes as the club continues its efforts to bring games back to Israel. The team hopes to receive official approval from the EuroLeague to host the derby in Cyprus, with a target date of November 12th. If approved, Maccabi will have less than two weeks to manage the logistical preparations for the relocation. Reports from Cyprus suggest the game could be held at the 8,000-seat Spyros Kiprianou Arena. Maccabi has been hosting games in Belgrade, Serbia, after a brief period of hosting in Israel prior to Operation "Iron Swords." The club views the potential move to Cyprus as a temporary measure before returning to their home venue, Menora Mivtachim Arena.
