The team had an uneasy relationship with the Spanish Basketball Federation who heavily restricted them in the venues and dates of their games.They were effectively banned from Madrid as Raimundo Saporta, both a FIBA and Real Madrid official, didn't want them to compete with his club.The Sabras, named so after the nickname given to native Israelis (despite the fact that no players were Israeli or even Jewish), played in the Yad Eliyahu Arena in Tel-Aviv.
