We hoped, but no luck for Belgrade. Athens will be the host of this season’s Euroleague Final Four.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After numerous twists and turns in the previous months, it has been confirmed that Athens will host the Euroleague Final Four in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final tournament of Europe’s elite club competition will be held at the “Athens Telecom Center,” the former OAKA arena, home of Panathinaikos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belgrade was also a serious candidate, but unfortunately, the capital of Serbia did not get the opportunity to host the elite Euroleague teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the first time since 2007 that Athens will host the Final Four, while Greece also hosted it in 1993 in Piraeus and in 2000 in Thessaloniki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being awarded the organization for 2026, Greece could again nominate Piraeus, as soon as the reconstruction of the “Peace and Friendship Stadium” (SEF), the home of Olympiacos, is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi, which hosted the last Final Four, is already booked for 2027 and 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
