Maccabi Tel Aviv's lawyers today (Thursday) sent a letter of support for the petition submitted by Hapoel Haifa to the basketball association's court, in which the Haifa players demanded that the Final Four games of the State Cup be held at the Toto Hall in Holon.

The municipality of Holon also petitioned the district court in order to respect the union's decision from January 16, to move the games to Holon instead of the arena in Jerusalem, a decision that was reversed after the municipality of Jerusalem significantly lowered the price it demanded from the union for hosting the semi-finals and final.



Today the basketball association announced the dates of the games: the semifinals will be held on February 13, when Ironi Ness Ziona will meet Maccabi Tel Aviv at 18:00 and Hapoel Haifa will play against Hapoel Jerusalem at 20:45.

"Maccabi has no information about the contacts that took place between the municipality of Holon and the basketball association, but the announcement regarding the holding of the semi-final games of the State Cup for the 2022/23 season, at the Toto Holon Hall was published by the official institutions of the basketball association on January 16, 2023, and Maccabi believes that there are agreements To respect", the language of the letter on behalf of Maccabi Tel Aviv.

"And it should be emphasized that, until the date of submitting this response, the basketball association has not released any announcement stating otherwise with regard to the location of the games, when it is quite clear that a situation in which the teams participating in the cup factory will be subject to the changing wishes of various parties in the basketball association is inconceivable."



"Even if the claim is raised that this is a decision that was changed and accepted by the organization committee, or any other committee in the basketball union, then this should only amount to a recommendation, which must be brought to the union's management for approval, something that was not done in our case, and this flawed decision cannot be validated in retrospect If and when the economic issue is raised, then in accordance with the decisions that were made, and found their place in the basketball association's protocols and regulations, it is appropriate to state that the revenues of the enterprise should be divided between the four teams that take part in the enterprise and the union."



In this context, it should be noted that there is a lot of sense in holding the games on two different evenings, which will allow many audiences to come to the games, and will also make it possible to maximize the expected revenue from the cup factory.

To all of the above, we would add that even apart from the administrative and economic issues, emphasis should be given to the sporting issue, which is of supreme value.

Therefore, Maccabi Tel Aviv supports Hapoel Haifa's petition and believes that the dates of the games and the locations of the games should be split."

It should be noted that Maccabi Tel Aviv, which read that it is written in the letter to maintain the value of sportsmanship, has hosted 36 finals at Yad Eliyahu Hall to date and won 32 of them.



In response to the letter from the Yellows, Hapoel Jerusalem, which will play the semi-final (and the final, if it qualifies for it) on its home court according to the union's decision, said: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
