The 2024 Final Four is set to take place in Berlin, Germany's magnificent Uber Arena, the first venue to host the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague's signature moment this century for a third time.
If you are a diehard basketball fan, you already know what's at stake: the best four clubs in Europe fighting for the ultimate goal – to be crowned as the 2023-24 EuroLeague champion. Even if you are a casual fan, you know that few sporting events, if any, have such an enthralling combination of passion, drama, adrenaline and anticipation – all in a great venue located in one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in one of Europe's greatest cities.
Uber Arena is so big that the Brandenburg Gate would fit into it. Opened in September 2008, it was already home to the EuroLeague Final Four in 2009 and 2016. Its great acoustics and good view from all angles have allowed Uber Arena to host some of the best pop and rock artists in the world, such as Coldplay, Madonna, Pearl Jam, Beyonce, Depeche Mode and dozens of others.
A unique neighborhood in a dynamic city
The Final Four venue has an ideal location, too, barely a few hundred meters away from the East Side Gallery and the Wall Museum. The East Side Gallery is a permanent outdoor exhibit on the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall. More than 100 artists painted this 1.3-kilometer section of the wall.
The East Side Mall should give Final Four attendees plenty of dining options. Some of the best music venues in Berlin, such as Lido and PrivatClub, are just across a bridge over the Spree River. If you want to walk from the Brandenburg Gate to Uber Arena, it takes just over an hour. Going from the iconic Alexanderplatz to the arena on foot is less than 40 minutes. In any case, Uber Arena is easily accessible from anywhere in the city by bus, train, subway and light rail.
EuroLeague club ALBA Berlin and hockey club Eisbaeren Berlin play their home games at Uber Arena, which has also helped develop the area. With 170 museums, more than 150 theaters, thousands of restaurants and dozens of iconic buildings, Berlin is not only a great destination for first-timers, but the kind of city that also has something new to offer in each visit.
It's a chance to be part of the Final Four, one of the best sports events in world sports, in a one-of-a-kind city that will surely surprise you.
