New Developments After Strikes – What's Happening with Olympiacos and Panathinaikos Games in Israel

Developments in the Middle East are forcing Euroleague to reassess the holding of the Hapoel Tel Aviv – Panathinaikos (April 2) and Hapoel Tel Aviv – Olympiacos (April 9) games. After a previous decision allowing games to return to Israel, the war situation requires them to be held in a neutral venue once again. Euroleague is looking for alternative cities, such as Belgrade or Sofia, to host the games.
