OR Uefa examines very seriously and is expected to put voting the Elimination of Israeli teams from international competitions and the Euroleague does not exclude the possibility of taking similar action. This was admitted by the Executive Director of the event (CEO) Poultryduring his presence in Dubai ahead of the first team involvement from the country in the Euroleague.
“It is a difficult question and a question we always try to avoid, as it is a political nature. Obviously, we analyze the situation day by day. Our tactics and approach to such issues have always been to follow what other organizations and other events are doing. So we will do this. We will continue to watch, monitor this situation and react accordingly“, He stressed.
Asked, therefore, if the possible elimination of the Israeli teams from UEFA would also mean a corresponding move from the Euroleague, he replied: “UEFA is football. Let’s see how the case will evolve. But obviously, with such a great sports organization making decisions, it matters how it will go with others. It does not mean that if one makes a decision we will follow immediately, but when other sports organizations begin to react, or even if UEFA reacts, we will have to talk to the clubs. The most important is obviously the security of the team, the players and the fans”
It is not unlikely, therefore, for the Euroleague to exclude Israeli, Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv and the number of teams in the competition to return to 18.
