Maccabi Tel Aviv to host Olympiacos in Cyprus; 1,500 tickets allocated to local fans

In depth

Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Olympiacos on Tuesday at 19:00 in Cyprus, in its home game since moving to Limassol. Under the relocation agreement between Maccabi and the authorities in Cyprus, the Yellows are obligated to allocate 1,500 tickets to local fans for every home game. All tickets for the match have already been purchased.

In the first game against Hapoel Tel Aviv, the atmosphere was more of a home atmosphere for the Yellows. In the match against Olympiacos, a warm atmosphere is expected for the visiting team, and it will feel more like a home atmosphere for them due to support for the Greek teams on the island.

The Yellows sold about 1,500 tickets, but only 200 of them to the Israeli fans. All the tickets allocated to the local crowd sold out, and the Yellows were forced to allocate them due to the agreement that was signed.
