Dubai Plans to Host EuroLeague Basketball Games at Home Arena Despite Regional Conflicts

Dubai's basketball club has launched season ticket sales for the 2026/27 EuroLeague season, announcing plans to host its home games at the local Coca-Cola Arena. This decision contrasts with Israeli EuroLeague teams, which currently must hold their home games outside Israel due to ongoing security concerns. Last season, Dubai was forced to relocate its final five home games to Sarajevo, Bosnia, because of the Middle East conflict. With the new season approaching, the club is signaling its intent to return to hosting games in Dubai, offering season tickets that cover all home matches in both the EuroLeague regular season and the Adriatic League. This move highlights the differing circumstances between Dubai and Israeli teams, as the latter continue to face disruptions from the ongoing war, affecting where they can play their home games. Dubai's readiness to host games at home marks a notable development amid regional instability.
