According to Mozzart Sport, uncertainty over the next EuroLeague Final Four host has opened the door to three backup options: Belgrade, Kaunas and Valencia

Belgrade has reportedly emerged as one of the alternative options to host the next EuroLeague Final Four, should the initially selected destination, Abu Dhabi, no longer be confirmed.

According to Mozzart Sport, citing Jonas Lekšas of Krepsinis, the unstable political situation in the Middle East has forced EuroLeague officials to consider backup plans. Alongside Belgrade, Kaunas and Valencia are also mentioned.

Belgrade last hosted the Final Four in 2022, when Efes defended the European title, and it would be the third time in the last nine seasons for the Serbian capital. Kaunas hosted the event in 2023, while Valencia would be a first-time host.
