Belgrade will host the SuperCup 2025 decisive games on Thursday.
3rd Place Game
Dubai vs Crvena Zvezda
Time: 17:00 (18:00 Moscow time)
Place: Belgrade Arena
Broadcast: VK Video on the VK Sport channel
Dubai: The team was close to securing a place in the final, but failed to hold on to a 19-point lead and lost to Zenit in the last minutes. The game against the future Euroleague opponent will helpin the formation of the team. The coaching staff will certainly experiment.
Crvena Zvezda: A second consecutive loss in 2 days at home court after a 22-point loss to CSKA is certainly not part of the Serbian team plans. Despite the major setback, Crvena Zvezda looked good at times and simply reached the semifinals on an unlucky day. Still, 2 of 27 three-pointers made is a clear anomaly. With the support of the fans, the team has a good chance of improving on the result in the SuperCup 2024 (4th place).
Final
Zenit vs CSKA
Time: 20:00 (21:00 Moscow time)
Place: Belgrade Arena

Zenit: The St. Petersburg team is still searching for its creative form at this stage, but games like yesterday’s Semifinal can give them a great boost. A spectacular fourth quarter and a comeback against strong opponent will give Zenit an extra energy boost in the Final. Despite roster renewal, the team has certainly not forgotten last season’s Finals – Thursday will be their first chance for revenge. As Dmitry Uzinskiy said, a Russian classic in the SuperCup final “is cool.” CSKA may look like the favorite, but anything can happen.
CSKA: The Moscow team impressed on Wednesday, withstanding the pressure of 12,000 passionate fans and a motivated Euroleague club. For the team, the win over Crvena Zvezda was 5th in 6 preseason games. CSKA has retained last year’s roster, is approaching the SuperCup final and the season as a whole in very good shape.
