The Juventus home games in the Champions League may have to be played in Vilnius

Juventus Utena is actively managing its logistical preparations for the upcoming season, particularly concerning the hosting of international fixtures. The club is making concerted efforts to ensure that the FIBA Champions League matches can take place within Utena. However, evolving and increasingly stringent requirements regarding arena infrastructure necessitate that the club develop alternative operational scenarios.

Juventus Utena continues dialogue with the tournament organizers, aiming to secure a resolution that would allow the international matches to remain based in Utena. Should a definitive agreement not materialize, the club has confirmed that the home matches for the FIBA Champions League will relocate to the “Arena Vilnius” facility in Vilnius. It is important to note that this contingency plan only affects the international fixtures.

All domestic basketball competitions, including the entirety of Lithuania’s national leagues and the King Mindaugas Cup matches, are scheduled to continue utilizing the Utena arena. Furthermore, the Utena district municipality has commenced preparatory work regarding the potential reconstruction of the Utena arena facility itself. These ongoing local preparations suggest a commitment to maintaining the Utena location for the majority of the club’s scheduled matches, even while navigating the specific requirements of elite European competition.
