Beşiktaş will face Israeli representative Maccabi in the second week of the EuroLeague season. The match will be played tomorrow at the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
The tip-off time for the game has been announced as 21:05 TSI. Due to security concerns, Maccabi plays its home games outside of Israel. For this reason, Beşiktaş's away match will also be held in Belgrade.
The black-and-whites, who returned to the EuroLeague after a 13-season hiatus, were defeated 96-94 by Spanish representative Valencia Basket in their first-week home game. Beşiktaş will be looking for its first victory in the competition against Maccabi.
The two teams have previously met twice in the European arena. Beşiktaş was defeated by Maccabi Playtika in those matches with scores of 77-55 and 101-58.
Following the war in Gaza, matches involving Israeli teams in international organizations are being played in different countries under security protocols. Some matches are moved to neutral venues due to the possibility of provocations.
