Maccabi Tel Aviv, due to the ongoing war in Israel, was forced to postpone their EuroLeague Round 2 game against Olimpia Milano, originally scheduled for Thursday.
The Tel Aviv-based club finds itself in an unprecedented situation and is actively seeking solutions to avoid further postponements. Today, the team attempted their first practice session since the attacks on Sunday. The Israeli team is considering the possibility of playing several consecutive away games in the hope that the conflict will be resolved swiftly.
According to Walla Sport reports, Maccabi Tel Aviv is contemplating swapping home fixtures with Valencia as one potential solution.
These two teams were scheduled to meet in Tel Aviv on October 18th. If the proposal from the Israeli team is accepted, Maccabi would instead travel to Spain, and Valencia would host them on March 28th. This arrangement would mean that the Israeli team would play three consecutive away games.
The ongoing war conflict, which has caused significant disruptions in the sports world, began on Saturday with a sudden rocket attack from Gaza. The Palestinian group Hamas managed to infiltrate Israel using various means of transportation and carried out an unprecedented attack.
A state of emergency has been declared throughout Israel, and citizen mobilization has commenced. The Ministry of Culture and Sports has announced that all sports events will be canceled until further notice.
