EuroLeague Spectacle in Belgrade: Hapoel Tel-Aviv vs Dubai in the heart of the New Year

The duel between Hapoel Tel-Aviv – Dubai as part of the 20th round of the 2025/2026 EuroLeague season, scheduled for January 6, 2026, at 20:05 in the Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall in Belgrade, is one of those matches that is immediately highlighted with a marker in the calendar of basketball lovers. It is a clash between the leading team of the competition and the ambitious debutant from the Emirates, which in itself announces an evening filled with energy, running, and offensively oriented basketball that has been filling halls across Europe in recent months. For fans from the region, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates, this is a rare opportunity to see two new faces of the EuroLeague elite on neutral ground, with an atmosphere that Belgrade knows how to create when top-class basketball is on the court. Precisely because of this, interest in this match is growing day by day, so we can already speak of a game for which every ticket will have special weight, regardless of whether you come as a supporter of one of the teams or as a neutral fan who wants to experience an evening of top-class basketball. Anyone who wants to secure their place in the hall should think about buying tickets in time because the largest part of the sales will take place in advance, and the best seats by the court and in the central sectors traditionally sell out first. For all those who want to be part of this story live, planning and timely ticket purchase are key to welcoming January 6 in the stands, and not in front of a screen.

The Bigger Picture of EuroLeague 2025/2026: Hapoel as Leader, Dubai as Bold Debutant

The 2025/2026 season is historic for the EuroLeague because the competition has been expanded to 20 clubs, and two new projects have stepped onto the scene that immediately change the map of power: Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv, the fresh winner of the EuroCup with a direct ticket to the EuroLeague, and Dubai Basketball, a club founded in 2023 which, through the ABA League and strong investment momentum, rapidly reached the company of the greatest. Hapoel entered the European elite with a winning mentality and a seriously assembled roster led by coach Dimitris Itoudis and playmaker Vasilije Micić, and already halfway through the regular part of the season, it has established itself as one of the most attractive and efficient offensive squads in the competition. On the other hand, Dubai decided in its first EuroLeague season not to be just an exotic addition to the story, but an equal participant in the fight for the playoffs, building a team around players with experience from the NBA league and the top of European competitions. It is precisely this clash of different basketball stories – an Israeli club with a rich tradition and a new project from the Emirates – that makes this match particularly interesting for neutral viewers, but also for everyone planning to buy tickets to witness the birth of a new rivalry live. In such a context, tickets for this event become more than just a piece of paper or a QR code: they are an opportunity to experience live the moment in which the EuroLeague truly becomes a competition of the entire continent – from the Middle East to the Balkans.

Current Standings and Statistics: Clash of the Leading Team and the Dangerous Middle Camp

Ahead of the 20th round, Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv holds the very top of the table with a record of 13 wins and 5 losses, with a point difference of +103 and an attack that averages slightly more than 88 points per game, which ranks it among the most effective offensive squads in the EuroLeague. Dubai Basketball holds onto the golden middle in its debut season, with a 9–9 record and a position in the middle part of the table, but with a series of games in which it showed that it can beat established giants, which makes it an unpleasant opponent for anyone. Statistics further confirm that viewers in Belgrade will watch a quality offensive duel: Hapoel shoots almost 59.5% for two points and around 38% for three, while Dubai, although slightly more modest from the outside, makes up the difference with aggressive offensive rebounding and very good free throw execution, with a percentage greater than 81%. When it is added that both teams regularly cross 80 points scored, it is clear why this match is marked in analytical announcements as a potential spectacle in which fans will get many reasons to stand up on their feet. Precisely because of this, ticket sales for this match also attract statistics lovers, who want to check with their own eyes whether Hapoel's offensive rhapsody and Dubai's energy can surprise each other in the conditions of the Belgrade hall.

First Mutual Duel: Hapoel's Offensive Rhapsody and Dubai's Lesson to Learn

Already in the first part of the season, Hapoel and Dubai played a match that hinted at what might await us in the continuation of the rivalry: Hapoel celebrated 109:97 away in November 2025, in a match that was a real treat from the viewers' perspective due to the high rhythm and constant changes in runs. The Israeli club then dominated through aggressive transition and excellent three-point shooting, while Dubai, despite the defeat, showed that it can find answers through the individual quality of its guards and the ability to return after a score deficit. That duel left the impression that there is no real "handbrake" between these teams – once the rhythm is entered, attacks follow one another without much calculation, which is an ideal scenario for spectators in the stands of Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall. That is precisely why many fans count on the new match in Belgrade bringing even higher intensity, because Hapoel wants to confirm dominance and keep the leading position, while Dubai seeks revenge and a victory with which it would further consolidate itself in the fight for the play-in and playoff. In such a framework, tickets for this duel become an entry into a story that has an already written first chapter, but the outcome of the second remains completely open and therefore worthy of being experienced live, and it is clear to fans planning to arrive that buying tickets in advance will be the best way not to miss the rerun of the offensive fireworks.

Key Players: Elijah Bryant and Vasilije Micić against McKinley Wright IV and Filip Petrušev

Hapoel Tel-Aviv has a recognizable face on the court this season: Elijah Bryant is the leading player by valuation with around 20 index points on average, where he combines scoring ability, rebounding, and coolness on the free-throw line, while Vasilije Micić orchestrates the attack as one of the most creative playmakers in Europe. This combination gives Hapoel the ability to constantly create an advantage in the pick-and-roll and use a high percentage of two-point shots, and when defenses retreat too much, punishment follows through outside shooting where Hapoel belongs to the upper echelon of the EuroLeague. On the opposite side, Dubai builds its identity on the explosiveness of its backcourt, primarily on McKinley Wright IV, who has on several occasions recorded performances of over 20 points, with a strong contribution in rebounding and assists, and on the interior presence of Filip Petrušev, a center capable of playing facing and with his back to the basket. When a few more experienced perimeter shooters are added to them, it is clear that Dubai will not passively observe Hapoel's game, but will look for a way to impose its own rhythm through aggressive switches and fast breaks in transition. For fans thinking about buying tickets, the psychological moment is also interesting – precisely such matches often end up in the hands of the team leaders, so it will be particularly exciting to observe whether Bryant can confirm the status of one of the stars of the season or if Wright and Petrušev will take the spotlight for one Belgrade evening, which is why tickets for this event have additional value for lovers of individual duels.

Battle Under the Hoops and Importance of Rebounding in a High-Rhythm Match

Although the aggressiveness of the backcourt of both teams is often highlighted in announcements, the key to this match could lie in rebound control and discipline under the hoops. Statistics show that Dubai grabs slightly more offensive rebounds than Hapoel, which means that the Israeli squad must prevent second and third attacks if they want to maintain the advantage in efficiency and match rhythm. Hapoel is very good in defensive rebounding and often uses the won ball as a trigger for fast transition, but against a team that has a combination of tough tall players and athletically powerful guards, like Dubai, every lost ball under their own hoop could cost dearly. In a match expected to cross the limit of 160 or even 170 points, every additional possession of the ball is worth almost like a "mini bonus", so players in interior positions will have a task that might not fall into statistical columns, but will directly decide who will rejoice at the end of the evening. Seen through the eyes of fans, this type of encounter is ideal for those who enjoy physically demanding basketball, dunks, and fighting under the hoops, which is why buying tickets for this duel imposes itself as a logical choice for anyone who wants to see live what a modern EuroLeague battle in the paint looks like.

Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall: Cult Belgrade Hall at Pariske Komune 20

Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, located at Pariske Komune Street 20 in New Belgrade, is one of those halls that carry a special basketball charm, precisely because they combine rich history, relatively intimate capacity, and specific acoustics that turn every fan shout into an amplified echo. Built back in the late sixties of the last century and later renovated, the hall was for years host to numerous Belgrade clubs, and today it is used for basketball, handball, volleyball, and concerts, with a capacity of around 5,000 seats for sports events. Such a number of seats means that, unlike the largest arenas, fans are located close to the court, which creates the feeling that they are literally above the field and can celebrate every point from the first row, and it is precisely this proximity that makes tickets for this match particularly sought after. For visiting fans from Israel, the Emirates, or countries of the region, an additional motive for coming is the fact that the hall is located in a part of the city well connected by public transport, while numerous options for accommodation near the venue are available in the immediate vicinity. When everything is added up, it is clear that on January 6, every ticket for Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall will mean entry not only to the match but into an ambiance where Belgrade basketball tradition meets the new EuroLeague era.

Belgrade as a Basketball City: Atmosphere That Fans from All Over Europe Want to Experience

Belgrade has for years been reputed as one of the greatest basketball cities in Europe, primarily thanks to Partizan and Crvena Zvezda, whose mutual derby regularly fills the largest halls and fills headlines due to the atmosphere that many analysts compare with the biggest events in world sports. When such a basketball culture gets the opportunity to host a match between Hapoel and Dubai, fans can expect a blend of local passion and the international character of the competition, and it is not hard to imagine how the stands will be filled by a combination of red, white, and other jersey colors symbolizing both clubs and neutral lovers of the game. Belgrade during winter is a city that lives at a slightly calmer rhythm, but sports events like this attract visitors from the region, so many fans will plan an entire weekend or extended stay with sightseeing, good food, and evening outings. For them, it is important to plan the trip and accommodation offers in Belgrade in time, because the match date coincides with a period when the holiday atmosphere and an increased number of tourists are still felt. That is precisely why ticket sales do not just mean filling the stands, but driving an entire small city ecosystem – from hotels and apartments to restaurants and cafes – which is why many fans will use this match as an ideal occasion for a winter trip to the city of basketball.

Fans of Hapoel and Dubai: Clash of Passion, Energy, and Different Fan Cultures

Hapoel Tel-Aviv is known for one of the most fiery fan bases in Israel, with an audience that traditionally follows the club in both the domestic championship and on the European scene, creating a recognizable "sea of red" in the stands, wherever the team plays. During the last seasons, while they played home games outside Israel due to the security situation and the temporary relocation of European games, fans showed exceptional loyalty, following the club even on neutral grounds across the continent. Dubai Basketball, on the other hand, is building a new fan base in a city that is a global tourist hub, so local basketball lovers, foreigners staying in the city, and fans from the region often meet at their games, which creates a sort of international mix in the stands. In Belgrade, these two fan identities will merge with the local audience that always knows how to recognize a good match, so an exceptionally colorful atmosphere is expected in which songs in different languages will be heard, and every good move on the court will be rewarded with a loud reaction. For many fans wondering whether to buy tickets, precisely this unique combination of cultures and ambiance is an additional reason to click on the button below, secure their tickets, and be part of an evening that promises a special fan story.

Rhythm of the Match, Style of Play, and Possible Scenarios on the Court of the Belgrade Hall

Analytically speaking, the meeting of Hapoel and Dubai should bring a high number of possessions and a dynamic rhythm, because both teams prefer a faster exit from defense and early transition, with a large number of pick-and-roll situations with which they open space for shooters and players at the rim. Hapoel, with its high percentage of shooting for two and three points, will logically want to finish as many attacks as possible in the early phase, before the opposing defense manages to completely arrange switches and rotations, while Dubai will try to slow down the opponent's rhythm with occasional zone setups and tactical fouls in the middle third of the court. The key question will be whether Dubai can, with its diverse offensive arsenal – in which Wright often takes responsibility in key moments, and Petrušev uses every mismatch under the basket – maintain the score connection long enough to shift the pressure to the favorite. If the match enters a tight finish, then the experience of Micić on one side and the calmness of Dubai's guards on the other will come to the fore, which additionally enhances the excitement for everyone who will be sitting in the stands of Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall. Precisely because of the possibility of a dramatic finish, buying tickets in advance, with several clearly highlighted opportunities for securing seats via the button below, is a logical choice for fans who want to be part of a potential thriller ending.

Practical Information: Arrival, Accommodation, and Tips for Match Day

For fans coming from outside Belgrade, it is key to plan the match day so that they arrive at the hall at least an hour before the start, in order to avoid crowds at the entrances and have enough time for ticket checks, security controls, and finding their seats. Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall is located in New Belgrade, in a zone well connected by city bus lines and taxis, while parking capacities in the vicinity are limited, which is why using public transport or carpooling with other fans is recommended. Given that the match is played at the beginning of January, one should count on winter conditions, so it is practical to use part of the fan props – scarves and hats in club colors – simultaneously as protection from the cold when arriving and leaving the hall. For those planning to arrive a day or two earlier, it is useful to reserve accommodation for fans on match day in time, so that they can prepare for the evening departure to the hall without haste. In all this, tickets play a central role: the advice is to buy them in advance via the button below, in order to avoid situations in which public interest exceeds the number of available tickets and part of the fans remain outside the hall instead of in the stands.

Dubai as a New Factor in the EuroLeague: Ambitious Project from the Middle East

Dubai Basketball has become the topic of numerous analyses in just a few years because it represents the first serious step of the EuroLeague into the market of the United Arab Emirates, with a project that combines modern infrastructure, a strong financial foundation, and the ambition of creating a competitive team at the highest level. The club began building its image even before entering the EuroLeague by bringing in players with experience from the NBA league and leading European clubs, while the arrival of McKinley Wright IV stands out as a move by which they gained a backcourt leader, capable of leading the team even in the most difficult moments. Their victories against renowned rivals in the first EuroLeague season, including dramatic finishes in which Wright took key shots, are proof that they are not afraid of big stages, but use them as a showcase for their own ambitions. The meeting with Hapoel in Belgrade is therefore important also from the perspective of their project: a victory against the leading team of the league on neutral ground would be a strong message to the entire competition that Dubai does not plan to be a transient guest, but a permanent candidate for the playoffs. For fans who follow the emergence of new basketball stories, this is an ideal reason to secure tickets and see on the spot how far this young club has come in its first EuroLeague season.

Hapoel's Story: From Winning the EuroCup to Fighting for the Top of the EuroLeague

Hapoel Tel-Aviv entered the EuroLeague through the big door, winning the EuroCup with a convincing series against Gran Canaria and thereby opening a new chapter of club history, with the ambition to immediately join the fight for the very top. The success in the EuroCup gave the team not only a trophy but also the belief that their offensive style of play and rotation full of players capable of taking responsibility can function even at the highest level. Coach Dimitris Itoudis, with rich experience and titles from earlier EuroLeague campaigns, introduced additional structure into the game, combining freedom in attack with clearly defined defensive tasks for every player. The 2025/2026 season so far confirms that the club has made a correct series of decisions – Hapoel not only wins, but does so attractively, with a lot of points, precise shooting, and brave decisions in finishes. Matches like this one in Belgrade, against the dangerous debutant Dubai, are an opportunity to further consolidate the status of a team that is ready to go all the way, and they offer fans the possibility to experience with one ticket what the performance of the new EuroLeague leader who only recently won their first major European trophy looks like.

Why January 6 in Belgrade is a Date Fans Must Not Miss

When everything is added up – the leading EuroLeague team against the ambitious debutant, a hall with a rich basketball tradition in a city that lives for this game, a date in the middle of the winter period when quality sports content is sought, and the fact that it is played in the relatively intimate but loud ambiance of Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall – it is clear why many view this match as one of the highlights of the beginning of the new year for the regional basketball audience. This match is not just another meeting in the schedule of the strongest European club competition, but also a symbol of the wider expansion of the EuroLeague towards the Middle East and confirmation that Belgrade remains a key point on the map of continental basketball. For Hapoel fans, this is an opportunity to cheer for their team in an environment that reminds of the home atmosphere, while sympathizers of Dubai can see how much their club is progressing against the strongest possible opponent. Neutral basketball lovers will have the opportunity to watch live a duel that combines different styles of play, different fan cultures, and a shared passion for a sport that connects cities and countries. That is precisely why the message at the end of this announcement is simple: if you love the EuroLeague and want to experience a meeting that already now has the potential to become one of the most beautiful stories of the season, secure your tickets in time and prepare for a Belgrade evening that will be retold for a long time.
