Abu Dhabi's role in global basketball
Abu Dhabi has become a key station on the global basketball map, as it prepares to host the inaugural edition of the European Club Super Cup in September 2026, featuring four of Europe’s top clubs: Olympiacos of Greece, Fenerbahçe of Turkey, Real Madrid of Spain, and Dubai Basketball Club representing the UAE. This tournament is part of Abu Dhabi’s plans to expand its presence in European and American basketball, following its hosting of NBA games involving six teams since 2022, and its hosting of the EuroLeague Final Four in 2025, along with strategic agreements to enhance its position as a global sports destination. The initiative aims to attract a global audience, develop the city’s sports infrastructure, and reflects Abu Dhabi’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its status as an international sports hub.
