Tonight Hapoel Holon will host AAK Athens in the FIBA Champions League. It will be the first meeting of the Greeks with an Israeli team.

In December 2022, Reggio Emilia fans were savagely attacked minutes before the start of the match in Athens. The basis for the violent behavior of AAK fans stemmed from anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel. The crowd's hostility to Israel is also reflected in the influence on decisions the group is forced to make, sources say.
