Basketball Super Cup Tickets Sell Out Ahead of Tel Aviv Derby
The Israeli Basketball Premier League administration announced that all tickets have been sold for the "Social Super Cup" game between reigning champions Maccabi Tel Aviv and their city rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv. The game, scheduled for Thursday in two weeks, will see the Menora Mivtachim Arena filled with fans.
Maccabi Tel Aviv fans purchased all tickets allocated to them for this first Tel Aviv derby of the 2026/27 season. The match will take place a week before both teams begin their European EuroLeague campaigns.
Hapoel Tel Aviv fans were slower to secure their seats, prompting the club to purchase the remaining tickets allocated to them by the league administration. Hapoel Tel Aviv will now sell these tickets directly to their supporters.
The article questions whether this move reflects a continued disconnect between Hapoel fans and the club, referencing last season's protests against owner Ofer Yanai, or if it's an attempt to bridge the gap and reconnect fans with the team.
