According to Tomer Givati from Israel Hayom, the organization has already submitted a bid to host the BCL Final Four. If the application is approved, the event would be held in the Pais Arena in Jerusalem.

The venue is capable of hosting 11,000 spectators, its website claims.

Coached by Aleksandar Dzikic, Hapoel are currently 1st place in Group A of the competition with 4 wins and just 1 loss in their account.

The team's last game in the Top 16 round comes against SIG Strasbourg on March 22nd. Since the first game between the two teams was won by the Israeli team by just a single point, it will decide the winner of the group.

The first two clubs from each of the four Top 16 groups will play a best-of-three playoff series with the teams that finished no. 1 in their respective groups holding the first and potentially third game at home.

Just like in the EuroLeague, the four advancing clubs will then progress to a single-elimination Final Four tournament.
