Due to the war in Israel, Maccabi have been forced to play their home games outside of the country. Instead, all their home contests, except the very first one in Tel Aviv before the war broke out on October 7th, were held in Belgrade with limited fan capacity or none at all.

With less than a week remaining until the series turns to Belgrade, Maccabi are looking to increase the fan limit that's currently being enforced, Or Shkedy from Walla Sport reports.

The limit for Game 3 is currently set at only 300. The Israeli organization is in contact with the city police to increase the number, with the ultimate goal being a thousand spectators, Shkedy writes.

While regular-season matches were hosted in the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, commonly known as Pionir, the playoff games will be held in the Belgrade Arena, formerly Stark Arena, which also hosted the final Maccabi's regular-season game against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan.

Maccabi won Game 1 on Tuesday after a resilient effort in the famous OAKA in Athens, Greece. Game 2 is scheduled for 20:15 CET on Thursday, April 26th.
