Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena will host the first two games of the ABA League Finals, where Dubai Basketball is set to go against Partizan Belgrade on Thursday, June 4, and Saturday, June 6.

The ABA League, in coordination with the two participating teams, has confirmed that the opening two games of the finals will take place in the UAE, marking the club’s long-awaited return home after several months away from Dubai.

Since February, Dubai Basketball have played their home games in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Sarajevo and Zenica serving as temporary home venues during the club’s relocation period. The team now returns to Dubai for the biggest games in its history.

In just its second ABA League season, Dubai Basketball will now compete for its first league title in front of its home fans, while welcoming one of European basketball’s most iconic clubs, Partizan Belgrade, to the UAE.

“Being able to return home for the biggest games in the club’s history is a special moment for everyone connected to Dubai Basketball,” said Dejan Kamenjašević, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Basketball.

“We play these games for Dubai and for our people," he added. "Throughout this journey, we have felt the support of our fans wherever we have played, and now we finally have the opportunity to compete in front of them again."
