EuroLeague champions Fenerbahçe will host Israeli clubs Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv on November 11 and 13 in Munich because of security measures put in place by Turkish authorities, the İstanbul club announced Thursday.
Fenerbahçe had already relocated two home fixtures against Maccabi last season to Lithuania.
Since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023, Israeli clubs in the EuroLeague and EuroCup have played their home games abroad.
But following the October 10 ceasefire agreement, EuroLeague clubs met last week and “approved the proposal to return matches to Israel starting December 1, 2025,” the body said.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, six-time winners of the competition, and Hapoel Tel Aviv are playing in the EuroLeague this season while Hapoel Jerusalem is in the second-tier EuroCup.
Fenerbahçe Beko and Anadolu Efes were two top Turkish clubs who protested the EuroLeague decision to once again let Israeli teams host European competition home games in Israel.
