This is a 'dream come true' for young Efes supporter

The Final Four experience is about more than just what happens on the court.

For many, especially the younger ones, witnessing the events and going to the games is a lifetime experience.

"This is the first time I am at the Final Four," Omer Sinan Pehlivan said. "This is my dream come true."

The 14-year-old from Izmir, Turkey, is visiting the Serbian capital to support reigning champion Anadolu Efes Istanbul. At home in Turkey, he roots for local team Pinar Karsiyaka, but when it comes to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Efes is without a doubt his team.

More than anything, however, Omer loves basketball. He not only practices basketball, but has Youtube and Instagram channels devoted to his passion.

"Basketball is my lifestyle, it is so exciting to be here", he said from the FanZone at Savski Square in Belgrade, accompanied by his parents and younger sister. "The FanZone is amazing, there are so many activities here."

Efes fans have been over the moon in recent years with the team making it to the last three championship games and Omer is certain Efes will be on the podium raising the trophy again.

"My heart is with Efes. And Efes will win", he confidently summed up.
