Dubai Basketball ABA League Finals action is coming to Coca-Cola Arena, with the club set to host the opening two games of the championship series against Partizan Belgrade in front of its home fans.
The ABA League, Dubai Basketball and Partizan Belgrade have confirmed that Games 1 and 2 of the Finals will take place in Dubai on Thursday, June 4, and Saturday, June 6. The announcement marks a long-awaited homecoming for the franchise after spending several months away from the emirate.

Dejan Kamenjašević, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Basketball, said bringing the Finals back to Dubai is a special moment for everyone connected to the club.
He noted that the players, staff and supporters have shown resilience throughout the season and that returning home for the biggest games in the team’s history makes the occasion even more meaningful.
