Dubai Basketball to face Partizan in EuroLeague season opener in Dubai

Dubai Basketball will make its EuroLeague debut against Serbian powerhouse Partizan Belgrade on September 30 at the Coca-Cola Arena.

This matchup will mark the first of 31 season games for Dubai Basketball in its inaugural EuroLeague campaign.

The second home game for Jurica Golemac’s team will be another major clash, as they host FC Barcelona on Thursday, October 16.

The opening stretch of the season will be demanding, with six of the first eight games played away from home. Dubai will travel to face Monaco, Olympiacos, Fenerbahce, ASVEL Villeurbanne, Baskonia, and Valencia in what promises to be a tough early test.

In November, the team will benefit from a run of home games at the Coca-Cola Arena, hosting: Hapoel Tel Aviv (November 6), Crvena Zvezda (November 11) and Zalgiris Kaunas (November 14).

After a road trip to Athens to face Panathinaikos on November 20, the team returns home for a key fixture against Paris Basketball (November 25).

The first half of the regular season will conclude with a high-profile game against Real Madrid on January 2, marking the first match of the new year.

The final stretch of the season in April offers a strong finish at home. Dubai Basketball will play three of their last four games at the Coca-Cola Arena, welcoming Monaco, Anadolu Efes, and Valencia. The regular season will close on April 17.

Complete with non-stop entertainment, world-class lineups and unmissable basketball action – the EuroLeague season opener will kick-off at 7:45 pm on September 30.
