Yesterday Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv announced that one of their players has tested positive for coronavirus, adding that all the players and staff would undergo a PCR test.

Today, the club informed that three other players and a member of the staff received positive results in PCR tests this morning, which increased the number of persons infected to five.

As a result, the Israeli team had to cancel its participation in the "bwin TOURNAMENT AGAINST COVID-19" hosted by Olympiacos Piraeus at the Peace and Friendship Stadium next weekend (September 4 and 5).

The place of the team coached by Giannis Sfairopoulos will be covered by Peristeri, Olympiacos BC announced.

After this development, there was a change in the schedule of the first day (4/9).

AS Monaco - Peristeri 17:00 CET

Olympiacos - Lavrio at 19:30 CET.
