The EuroLeague basketball game between Real Madrid and Maccabi Tel Aviv will be played without fans in attendance due to heightened security concerns. Spanish authorities classified the match as high risk, prompting Real Madrid to follow police recommendations and refund tickets to supporters. Recent EuroLeague fixtures involving Israeli teams have faced similar restrictions, with games moved to neutral venues or played behind closed doors amid ongoing protests and safety issues. The decision reflects ongoing challenges in hosting matches involving Maccabi Tel Aviv, as security remains a top priority for organizers.
