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, features two strong teams but starts much earlier than typical European basketball games, which usually begin at 9 or 10 PM. The reason for the early start is the significant time difference between Israel and Dubai. Dubai does not observe daylight saving time, meaning its current time is three hours behind Central European Time and two hours behind Israel time. The game is set to begin at 8:00 PM Dubai time, a common hour for sports and cultural events in the UAE. This corresponds to 6:00 PM in Israel and 5:00 PM in Central Europe. Another Euroleague game, between Dubai and Paris, is also scheduled for 6:00 PM Israel time.
