Amid Israel’s war, the EuroLeague acted

In light of the continuing armed conflict in Israel, EuroLeague Basketball has opted to postpone two upcoming matches featuring Israeli teams in both the EuroLeague and EuroCup tournaments.

The official announcement:

The BKT EuroCup Regular Season Round 2 game Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv vs. Wolves Vilnius, which was scheduled to be played on October 11, and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season Round 2 game EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, scheduled for October 12, have been suspended following the terror attacks and onset of armed conflict in Israel.

Euroleague Basketball is monitoring the situation and will evaluate with the affected teams the best possible options to reschedule the games based on available dates. Further information will be released when available.

Euroleague Basketball reiterates its firm commitment against all acts of violence and in favor of peace, and will continue to use its voice to promote respect, inclusion, and diversity, values that sit at the core of the organization and its teams.
