In light of the debate between the bodies that run basketball in Israel, we examined whether there are indeed two national teams that are able to meet the threshold and rise to the Premier League next season. • Hint: The budget is not a problem and the halls need improvement.

In recent months, there has been a debate among the basketball players in Israel about the National League's ability to provide two teams each season to advance to the Premier League in terms of infrastructure and budgets. The Basketball Association and the National League Administration claim that there are two teams that can go up, while the Premier League administration firmly claims that things are wrong, and that the move will hurt the professional and marketing in the first league.

As a result, we checked in "Israel Today" whether the top-tier teams in a possible mountaineering position could rise if they finished in one of the first two places and meet the two major requirements of the Premier League administration: a minimum budget of NIS 6.5 million and a hall with a capacity of 2,500 seats or a construction plan Future of such a hall.

In conversations we have with clubs based on municipal support, it has emerged that in order to reach a budget of NIS 6.5 million, the municipality will need to raise around 3 million or take care of businessmen to transfer the amount in question. Along with the 2.2 million that the manager transfers and the million that the group achieves from tickets, subscriptions, and sponsors, the minimum budget can be met.

However: The sports hall in the city contains 1,000 places and there is an option to expand if the team goes up. At the same time, the municipality has a 3,500-seat arena for hosting sports and cultural events.
Budget: This season, the municipality is budgeting NIS 2.1 million, and in response to our request, it has been made clear that the municipality will set the necessary budget for the Premier League.

However, the "Jubilee" which has been playing in the Premier League for many years, contains 1,350 seats. There is no plan to build a hall.
Budget: The municipality has in recent years set the required amounts for the budget above the minimum. The municipality said it was early to know what the amount of the allowance would be, but the club made it clear that the budget issue would not be a problem.
