Overview
- Joventut Badalona confirmed the November 19 FIBA Champions League game will be held without spectators at the Palau Olímpic in Badalona.
- The Spanish Comisión Antiviolencia classified the fixture as high risk, requiring additional safety measures for organizers.
- Local activist group Plataforma Badalona contra el genocidi called a protest outside the arena on Wednesday at 19:00.
- Joventut supporter groups La Cantonada CJB and Dimonis Verds i Negres publicly urged the club, FIBA and the Spanish federation to suspend the match.
- The move follows similar closed-door decisions in Spain for October games against Israeli teams, as Joventut enters 4-0 seeking top seeding while Hapoel Holon has staged its home ties in Szombathely for security reasons.
