The event is likely to be canceled, a decision that could be announced as early as the next 48 hours.
There is intense concern among the three European teams, as the U.S. government has issued a Code 3 travel advisory for the Emirates, which set off alarm bells for the American players on Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe, and Real Madrid.
Code 3 means “it is advisable not to travel to the Emirates, as there is a risk.” Code 4, on the other hand, means “travel is prohibited.”
Everything points, therefore, to the EuroLeague deciding to cancel the first-ever EuroLeague Super Cup.
Here is the tournament schedule:
Friday, September 18
- 5:00 p.m. Olympiacos–Fenerbahçe
- 8:00 p.m. Dubai BC vs. Real Madrid
Saturday, September 19
- 5:00 p.m. Third-Place Game
- 8:00 p.m. Final
