After months away from home, Dubai Basketball is finally returning to where it all began; and the timing couldn’t be bigger. The club will face Serbian powerhouse Partizan Belgrade in Games One and Two of the ABA League Finals at Coca-Cola Arena on June 4 and 6, marking Dubai Basketball’s long-awaited return to the city.
The ABA League, together with Dubai Basketball and Partizan, has officially confirmed that the opening games of the championship series will be played in Dubai.
Since February, the team has been forced to play its home fixtures in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Sarajevo and Zenica serving as temporary bases during the club’s relocation period. Now, after months on the road, Dubai Basketball is set to return home for the most important matches in its short but remarkable history.
The finals mark another major milestone for the club, which has reached the ABA League Finals in only its second season in the competition. Standing between Dubai Basketball and a first-ever league title is Partizan Belgrade, one of Europe’s most successful and storied basketball clubs.
With a championship on the line and home fans finally back in the stands, the stage is set for a memorable week of basketball in the city. Fans looking to be part of the action can register for tickets through Dubai Basketball’s official website.
