Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv’s home games are held at the Menora Mivtachim Arena, located in the Yad Eliyahu neighborhood of Tel Aviv. Whether you’re planning to attend a game for the first time or are simply curious, we’ve gathered everything you need to know about the arena and Maccabi’s home games.
The Menora Mivtachim Arena first opened its doors in September 1963, though it wasn’t yet an arena in the modern sense. In its early years, it was an open court without a roof, surrounded by concrete stands that seated about 5,000 spectators. The new court was originally named after Deputy Mayor Yosef Burstein and replaced the old Maccabi court, which had been located on Maccabi Street in the city. Years later, Burstein’s grandson, Tal, became one of the greatest players in Maccabi’s history.
From 1968 to 1971, the arena underwent a massive renovation project, during which it received a roof and a second level that doubled its seating capacity to roughly 10,000. The renovation also added a reception hall, concession stands, and offices. Another renovation between 2005 and 2007 set the arena’s capacity at 10,383 seats, including 24 spacious VIP suites, designated seating areas for wheelchair users, and premium courtside seats.
Over the years, the arena has hosted countless unforgettable EuroLeague games, as well as concerts by some of the world’s biggest artists. In 1971, it hosted the European Cup Final, in which Varese defeated Jugoplastika Split. In 1994 and again in 2004, it hosted the EuroLeague Final Four, with Joventut Badalona and Maccabi Tel Aviv winning the title, respectively.
