Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to face Olympiacos in a EuroLeague game on Tuesday, with the majority of the crowd expected to support the visiting Greek team. While Maccabi Tel Aviv sold approximately 1,500 tickets allocated to the Cypriot audience, only about 200 were purchased by Israeli fans. This imbalance is attributed to an agreement requiring 1,500 tickets to be made available to locals in Cyprus, who are reportedly fans of Greek teams. Maccabi Tel Aviv recently relocated its home games to Cyprus to be closer to Israel and encourage greater Israeli fan attendance, but this particular matchup appears to be an exception. The team is beginning a demanding double week in the EuroLeague, with this game against a strong opponent being the first.
