The EuroLeague announced on Saturday that two home games involving Turkish club Fenerbahçe against Israeli teams Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv have been relocated from Istanbul to Munich, Germany. The decision was made following recommendations from local authorities.
Hapoel Tel Aviv is scheduled to play Fenerbahçe on Tuesday, December 15, as part of the 17th round of the competition. Maccabi Tel Aviv will face the Turkish team two days later. Both games will be held at the BMW Arena, which Fenerbahçe is using as an alternative venue this season.
This is not the first time that games between Israeli clubs and Fenerbahçe have been moved to Germany. Last season, the Turkish club also hosted Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv in Munich due to security directives in Turkey that prevented the matches from being held in Istanbul. Since October 7, 2023, no games involving Israeli teams have taken place in Turkey, and this latest decision continues the trend of moving these encounters to neutral locations.
