ABA League finals set to be played in Dubai

DUBAI: Dubai Basketball will face Partizan Belgrade in games one and two of the ABA League Finals at Coca-Cola Arena in the city on June 4 and 6, respectively.

The ABA League, in coordination with Dubai Basketball and Partizan Belgrade, has confirmed the club’s long-awaited return home after several months away from the city.

Since February, Dubai Basketball have played their home games in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Sarajevo and Zenica serving as temporary venues during the club’s relocation period.

Reaching the ABA League Finals is a major milestone for the club. In just their second ABA League season, Dubai Basketball will now compete for their first league title at home.

“We are delighted to bring these finals games back to Dubai,” said Dejan Kamenjasevic, co-CEO of Dubai Basketball.

“Over the past few months, our players, staff, and supporters have shown incredible resilience and commitment. Being able to return home for the biggest games in the club’s history is a special moment for everyone connected to Dubai Basketball.”

“We play these games for Dubai and for our people. Throughout this journey, we have felt the support of our fans wherever we have played, and now we finally have the opportunity to compete in front of them again.

“We look forward to seeing Coca-Cola Arena full and creating an unforgettable atmosphere for our city, our supporters and for basketball in the region.”
