Hapoel Tel Aviv is scheduled to play an unusually early away game against Dubai on Friday at 6:00 PM Israel time. The match, part of the Euroleague, is set to begin at 8:00 PM Dubai time. The reason for this early start, which differs from the typical 9 or 10 PM start for European basketball games, is the significant time difference. Dubai does not observe daylight saving time, meaning its current time is three hours behind Central European Time and two hours behind Israel time. This time difference allows the game to commence at 8:00 PM Dubai local time, a common hour for sports and cultural events in the UAE, which translates to 6:00 PM in Israel and 5:00 PM in Central Europe. Another Euroleague game between Dubai and Paris was also scheduled for 6:00 PM Israel time.
