Due to the well-known situation in Israel, Maccabi Tel Aviv has lost nearly four million euros, with fears that this figure may increase.
According to a report from the daily newspaper “Israel Hayom,” the “Pride of Israel” will lose nearly 5.1 million euros, representing a significant blow to the budget. This season, they operate with a budget of around 23 million euros.
Maccabi Tel Aviv sold 10,000 season tickets this season, but the money from those tickets has not yet been refunded. When the ticket refund policy begins, they will lose around 2.5 million euros. Additionally, they did not sell daily tickets, resulting in a loss of 1.3 million euros. Finally, another additional expense is the relocation to Belgrade, where they play their home games in the EuroLeague. The Israeli team’s leaders will pay 1.3 million euros out of pocket for this move.
Despite lacking the support of their fans, Oded Kattash’s team has a good record at home. They have won ten times and lost only four games. Overall, they have a record of 15 wins and 13 losses in the EuroLeague, with their next game against Crvena Zvezda in the Stark Arena.
