Euroleague and EuroCup Set to Return to Israel Post-Ceasefire

Top European basketball competitions, Euroleague and EuroCup, are set to return to Israel from December 1, following the recent ceasefire. Israeli teams have played at neutral venues due to conflicts in Gaza. Euroleague Basketball emphasizes its commitment to peace through sport while closely monitoring the situation.

In a significant development, Europe's premier basketball competitions are gearing up to resume in Israel. Euroleague and EuroCup games will return to the country from December 1, moving beyond neutral venues where they have been held since the October 2023 attacks.

The Israeli teams, including six-time champions Maccabi Tel Aviv, have been playing games away from home due to ongoing conflict. Euroleague Basketball confirmed the return date, assuring continuous monitoring of regional developments alongside close collaboration with authorities and relevant entities.

Despite optimism about the recent peace plan, tensions persist with accusations from both Israel and Hamas over ceasefire breaches. Nevertheless, Euroleague Basketball stands by its mission of promoting harmony through sportsmanship, respect, and unity.
