Presence 2,000 spectators in the stands will eventually be held Final 4 of the Men’s Cupon February 18-20 at “Dyo Aorakia” in Heraklion.
Despite the fact that the restrictive measures are in force, which provide for a 10% occupancy of the stadiums and a “ceiling” of 1,000 spectators, the EEC saw its request for an exception be accepted, despite initial objections from the police. The federation in this effort had allies the four OEMs, AEK, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and Prometheuswho will take part in the semifinals on Friday.
Everyone’s goal was for the return of the Final 4 format after 18 years to mean a basketball celebration with people in the stands and not in an almost empty court. So instead of 500-600 fans, which would be on the stands based on the capacity of 5,500 spectators indoors, there will be 2,000!
It does probably means 500 tickets / invitations to each group and it remains to be seen how these will be distributed, as well as whether the two semi-finals will be played with friends of all four teams simultaneously on the court or by two teams in Friday’s semi-finals.
Decisions are now awaited in consultation with the federation, the police and the OEMs. In any case, this decision is a harbinger of the increase in occupancy in all stadiums, estimated at a rate of 40-50%.
