A new concern has emerged regarding the Athens Olympic Indoor Hall (OAKA) and its suitability as the venue for the upcoming Euroleague Final Four. The issue centers around potential damage to the LED glass floor following the passage of a heavy vehicle over the playing surface.
The Spanish journalist Carlos Ávila Foix highlighted the situation on social media, noting that discussions are underway in Greece about whether the Final Four could be affected by the technical issues at OAKA. He further mentioned that a clearer picture of the situation is expected by Wednesday, though he noted the timing of the issue with some skepticism.
As of now, neither the Euroleague nor OAKA has made any official statements regarding the issue. However, the topic has already sparked considerable debate on social media and within the broader European basketball community.
The focus is now on the technical inspections scheduled for the coming days to determine whether there is a serious problem or if the issue has been exaggerated. The results of these inspections will be crucial in deciding the future of the Euroleague Final Four at OAKA.

This is crazy! A heavy vehicle on the LED floor? What kind of security checks do they have? If this is true, it could be a disaster for the Final Four. Can we trust OAKA anymore?
