Euroleague 2025 Final Four to be held in May in UAE

The capital of the United Arab Emirates has been investing huge amounts of money in sports lately. The Etihad Arena has become a mecca for mixed martial arts, where Russian lightweight fighter Islam Makhachev and other athletes have won their big title victories. The modern arena is equipped with everything required to host top-level sporting events. It is located in the coastal area of ​​Yas Bay on Yas Island, one of the most picturesque places in Abu Dhabi, where the Formula 1 races are also held. 

The Etihad Arena hall has a capacity of only eighteen thousand people, so tickets for the 2025 Final Four in Abu Dhabi are already actively selling out.

The 2025 Euroleague Final Four is the main basketball tournament of the 2024–25 season, which will be held from May 23 to 25 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It attracts the attention of basketball fans from all over the world. 

The winner of the 2024 Euroleague Final Four was Panathinaikos of Athens, who managed to deal with a very strong opponent in the face of the daring Real Madrid with a score of 95:80. The Greek club holds the record in the Final Four. In the last tournament, they won the trophy for the seventh time in a row. 

Kyle Hines has 16 blocked shots in his entire career in the Final Four. He set the record while playing in the Olympiacos uniform. Then the Greeks defeated CSKA Moscow with a score of 62:61. This game was undoubtedly the best in the career of the American professional basketball player, who played as a power forward and center. At the moment, his career is already over, but the record will forever remain in the memory of basketball fans. By the way, it is interesting that Hines spent seven seasons in the ranks of CSKA, becoming a two-time Euroleague champion and a six-time champion of Russia and the VTB United League. Kyle Hines also participated in the 2019 Euroleague final, when CSKA won against Anadolu Efes with a score of 91:83.
