The semi-final games of the Euroleague 2025 Final Four basketball tournament will be held in Abu Dhabi at the Etihad Arena on May 23

This popular sports venue in the capital of the United Arab Emirates has long been known to sports fans. Its court often hosts not only basketball matches, but also mixed martial arts competitions.

In 2025, a significant event in the world of European basketball will move outside of Europe for the first time and take place in Asia. The UAE has invested heavily in organizing the event and plans to host it for two more years in a row. Abu Dhabi will pay the Euroleague 50 million euros for the right to host the Final Four. These funds will be distributed mainly among the clubs participating in the tournament, including Moscow's CSKA.

Last year, the Euroleague finals were held in Berlin. Then, the teams Real and Panathinaikos met in the final, where the Greek club won with a score of 95:80. In the third place match, Olympiacos beat Fenerbahce 87-84. Thus, both finalists represented Greece, and Panathinaikos won the championship title for the seventh time. Whether they will be able to repeat the success in Abu Dhabi will become clear later. To do this, it is worth purchasing tickets for the semi-final games of the 2025 tournament. This year, the list of participants remains the same: Real, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce. Although Panathinaikos is considered the favorite and is striving for an eighth victory, other teams are also ready to fight for the championship, because sporting luck is unpredictable.
