The Kingdom of Bahrain is preparing to host the Gulf Basketball Championship 3×3 for under 21 years, which will be held for both male and female categories on November 19 and 20 with the participation of 10 Gulf teams, in a new event that reflects Bahrain’s leading position in hosting sports tournaments for the 3×3 game, which is witnessing a wide spread in the region.
The Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman confirmed their participation with two teams for young men and a team for young women, while the State of Qatar and the State of Kuwait participated with a team for young men and a team for young women.
This tournament comes within the agenda of the Gulf Basketball Federation, and under the direct supervision of the Bahrain Basketball Federation, which has completed its readiness to receive participating delegations and organize the event according to the highest standards, in continuation of the organizational successes achieved by the Kingdom in hosting major continental and international tournaments in recent years.
The Bahraini Basketball Association recently launched the official championship logo in an official ceremony held in the presence of representatives of the Gulf federations. The design reflects the youthful spirit and vitality that characterizes the 3×3 game, and embodies the common values among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in promoting sports communication between young people of both sexes.
This edition of the tournament is an important milestone for developing Gulf talent in the game, and preparing male and female players for the upcoming continental competitions, especially with the remarkable development achieved by Gulf teams in 3×3 competitions at the international level, as the game has received great interest from national federations and official support to expand its fan base.
The tournament is scheduled to witness the participation of under-21 nationality teams representing the Gulf countries, in a competitive atmosphere that combines skill and excitement, amid expectations of a large public turnout for the competitions, which will be held over two days in a festive sports atmosphere that reflects the depth of fraternal relations between the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
