Maccabi: “Incorrect decision not to emerge champion-we will return stronger”

by

Angry was her reaction Maccabi Tel Aviv For the decision of the Israeli League not to be a champion, after the inability to complete the finals with the Hapoel Jerusalem because of the war situation with Iran. The people’s team had suggested that both finalists be highlighted.

The announcement in detail:

“We were very surprised last night the decision of the Winners’ Basket League Executive Committee, which decided that he would not be declared a champion for the 2024/25 season, despite the club’s proposal to emerge as well as Hapoel Jerusalem.

This proposal, coming from the team that completed the regular season in the league in the first place, expresses a sincere appeal for unity and a steady commitment to the core values ​​on which Israeli society was built.

In times of crisis, courageous decisions are required. It was precisely because of the circumstances, it was appropriate and necessary to maintain the basic athletic principles. Unfortunately, the decision taken does not serve either the values ​​of the sport or the interests of Israeli sport.

Maccabi Tel Aviv will carefully consider her next steps. We would like to thank the dedicated basis of our fans who have faithfully supported us and honor the players, staff and the whole Maccabi team who endured an unprecedented difficult season, won two of Israel’s three basketball titles. All of them deserve more than a season erased by a wrong decision.

An honorary position is worth the second most successful team in Israeli basketball, Hapoel Jerusalem, who was a partner in an incompatible sports race while at the same time keeping sports values.

We will be back refreshed and stronger next season, to honestly win what was removed this season. “
