The Secretariat fears a big uproar if the yellows are crowned in Hapoel Tel Aviv's hall. A final decision will be made only after discussion with the police.
The police are aware of this particular scenario and, according to sources there, support reducing the risk of riots. It is currently unclear where the championship ceremony will take place in such a case. The possibility of not holding such a ceremony is being considered for fear of violent incidents and degradation of the ceremony, sources say.
