Hapoel Jerusalem has officially announced its intention to submit a proposal for a EuroLeague license in the coming days.

In the coming weeks, we intend to present a very strong proposal, both financially and strategically. We firmly believe in what Hapoel Jerusalem can bring to the EuroLeague and are confident our proposal will form a convincing basis for the EuroLeague board's approval."
