Kaunas might host the EuroLeague Final Four 2023 for the first time in the competition's history.

As for now, Kaunas is mentioned as the frontrunner to hold the upcoming Final Four, BasketNews sources confirmed.

Nikitas Avgoulis from Nova Sports first reported the news.

Zalgirio Arena was the third most attended venue in the EuroLeague last season, averaging 7.6k fans per game.

Before the pandemic, Zalgirio Arena had the biggest average attendance for three consecutive years.

Sotirios Vetakis of SDNA reported Dubai sheikhs proposed an idea to hold the EuroLeague Final Four in the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai for three consecutive years.

However, that's discussed as a future possibility, sources say BasketNews.

Istanbul was considered the most expected Final Four 2023 host. But when Jordi Bertomeu left the CEO position, the situation changed, per sources.

EuroLeague is still exploring alternative destinations keeping an eye on bigger markets, including Paris.
