The EuroLeague Final Four for the 2024-25 season will be hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, marking the first time the prestigious event takes place outside Europe. The decision was finalized during the General Assembly of the EuroLeague, with a vote of 11-2 in favor of Abu Dhabi as the host city. Olympiacos and Real Madrid were the two teams that opposed the decision.

Initially, Belgrade was seen as the frontrunner to host the event, with the Stark Arena vying for its third consecutive Final Four. However, Abu Dhabi emerged as the winning city following the decisive vote.

The Final Four will be held from May 23 to May 25, 2025, with the semifinals scheduled for Friday, May 23, and the finals, both major and minor, taking place on Sunday, May 25. The event is expected to be hosted at the Etihad Arena, a venue with a capacity of 18,000 spectators. The arena has previously hosted the NBA pre-season games, including high-profile matchups like the Denver Nuggets vs. Boston Celtics.

This move signifies a bold step for the EuroLeague, expanding its reach beyond Europe and showcasing its global appeal.
