Virtus Bologna-Maccabi Tel Aviv at risk of postponement

Virtus Bologna at 8:30 p.m. will be on stage at the Palau Blaugrana in Barcelona for the 11th round of the Euroleague against the hosts.

.

A complicated but fascinating challenge for the Bianconeri, who after winning their fourth consecutive home victory at PalaDozza, also overcoming Efes Istanbul, are looking for confirmations on the road as well.

There is also a special flavor for Virtus, which reunites two well-known exes such as Will Clyburn and Toko Shengelia among the ranks of Barcelona.

In the meantime, the situation regarding the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 21, at PalaDozza, remains unresolved. A week before the event, the ticket office has not yet been opened. The reason? Public order concerns related to a protest demonstration announced for that day.

According to La Repubblica, Bologna Questore Antonio Sbordone has asked Prefect Enrico Ricci to consider a postponement or change of venue, also considering the coincidence with the Davis Cup finals. As La Gazzetta dello Sport also reports, a move of the match to the Bologna Fairgrounds would be a more manageable option from a security point of view.

The final decision is up to the Prefecture and the National Observatory for Sports Events.
