DUBAI: In a moment that showed the strength of the sports community, Dubai Basketball recently supported several Euroleague Basketball players who had been temporarily stranded in Dubai due to flight cancellations and airspace closures.
The UAE team opened its facilities to the players so they could continue training and worked closely with their teams to help them and their families return safely home to Europe from Abu Dhabi.
The gesture did not go unnoticed. Several clubs reached out to express their gratitude, highlighting a truth that extends beyond the court: even in challenging moments, sport continues to connect people across cities, clubs and countries.
Last Wednesday, Dubai Basketball’s players and staff travelled to Ljubljana, joined by a group of professional players who had spent time in Dubai.
Dubai Basketball will have their next two relocated home games in Sarajevo against Kosner Baskonia on March 12 and Crvena Zvezda on March 15.
