Euroleague Basketball has approved alternative venues for Israeli teams to play their 2025-26 home games as per the impossibility of hosting games in Israel, due to the current situation.
Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv and Hapoel Bank Yahav Jersualem have proposed hosting all its home games in Serbia's capital, Belgrade. Maccabi will play at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall while Hapoel will host its home games at Ranko Zeravica Sports Hall.
Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv have proposed playing their home games at Arena 8888 in Sofia, Bulgaria, with selected games played at Arena Botevgrad Arena as per Arena 8888 unavailability.
The Israeli teams played their home games last two seasons at alternative venues due to security concerns derived from the ongoing armed conflict in the region, with the aim always being to ensure the safety and well-being of players, staff, and fans.
Euroleague Basketball will continue to monitor the evolution of the situation, while staying in contact with all related parties, and will announce any modifications regarding the above decisions in the case that the situation in the region returns to normal.
