  • Abu Dhabi will host the final four of the EuroLeague basketball's 2024-25 season in May, the continental competition said on Tuesday.

The EuroLeague Final Four basketball tournament will be held in Abu Dhabi in May 2025, marking the first time this prestigious event will take place outside of Europe. This decision is part of a broader strategy to expand the sport's global reach, with Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism and the EuroLeague collaborating to bring this event to the Middle East. The agreement includes hosting the event for at least three years, with the possibility of extending it to five. This move follows the NBA's trend of playing games in Abu Dhabi, highlighting the city's growing status as a hub for international sports events. The announcement was made during a press conference in Munich, attended by key figures from both the EuroLeague and Abu Dhabi's tourism sector.
