By Eurohoops team / [email protected]

Panathinaikos‘ preparing for the Semi-Finals of the 2025 EuroLeague Final Four in Abu Dhabi, as the reigning champions will go up against Fenerbahce in a rematch of last year’s matchup in Berlin.

However, today’s practice at the Etihad Arena for Ergin Ataman’s team had to be delayed due to a mistake made by the bus driver, who brought them to a different venue.

The first mistake happened while Panathinaikos was on their way to training, with the driver dropping the team off at the Al-Jazira football stadium, resulting in the team members starting to yell at the driver to take them back.

However, it wasn’t the only mistake made by the driver.

The second one happened after the end of training, Panathinaikos’ players arrived at the airport and not at the hotel. Including training, this all lasted for about 4.5 hours.
