National basketball team sets sights on two key summer tournaments
Twin Tournaments on the Horizon
Bahrain's senior men's basketball team is preparing for an important summer schedule, with confirmed participation in two major tournaments under the guidance of Greek head coach Georgios Vovoras and his technical staff.
First up is the William Jones Cup, to be held in Chinese Taipei from 12 to 20 July 2025. Immediately afterward, the team will head to Tunisia to compete in the Arab Basketball Championship, scheduled from 25 July to 3 August.
Strategic Exposure for 'Al Ahmar Al Salawi'
These back-to-back competitions are part of a broader plan by the Bahrain Basketball Association to raise the national team's competitive standards. By facing teams from diverse basketball traditions, Bahrain aims to gain valuable experience and build tactical depth.
The dual events are also seen as key preparatory steps for the 18th Gulf Men's National Teams Championship, set to be held in Doha in 2026.
Long-Term Vision
The federation views the tournaments not just as isolated competitions, but as opportunities to build team chemistry, refine tactical execution, and strengthen the squad's resilience on the international stage.
As the summer unfolds, all eyes will be on 'Al Ahmar Al Salawi' to deliver positive results and continue building momentum in regional and global basketball circles.
