The long-awaited event for basketball fans will take place in May – the Euroleague Final Four

For the first time in history, this prestigious tournament will be held outside of Europe, namely in the capital of the United Arab Emirates - picturesque Abu Dhabi. 

Several cities competed for the right to host this event, but the choice fell on the Asian metropolis. The organizers also announced that if the tournament is successful, Abu Dhabi could host the Final Four in 2026 and 2027. According to information received from various sources, the Abu Dhabi authorities will pay the Euroleague 50 million euros for the right to host the tournament in 2025 and are already discussing the possibility of further cooperation for the following years.

The Etihad Arena is known for its modern infrastructure and the ability to accommodate up to eighteen thousand spectators. It has already hosted many prestigious events, including mixed martial arts tournaments and six matches as part of the NBA Global Games. It also hosted friendly matches with the participation of the national teams of Serbia and Australia. Tickets for this event are a chance to see the best basketball clubs in the world in action and support them in the fight for the coveted trophy.
