Bahrain Steps In, Arab Championship Stays On

TDT | Manama Bahrain has officially been awarded hosting rights for the 26th edition of the Arab Men's National Basketball Championship, following Tunisia's withdrawal from organizing duties. The tournament will run from July 25 to August 2. The Bahrain Basketball Association submitted an urgent request to host the event, which was swiftly approved by the Arab Basketball Federation. The move reflects Bahrain's readiness to take on major sporting events and step up when called upon, even at short notice. That initiative supports the broader vision of HH Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who continues to lead efforts in positioning Bahrain as a trusted destination for regional competitions. Backed by world-class facilities and a growing résumé in sports event management, the Kingdom has steadily reinforced its standing across the Gulf and Arab world. Riding Momentum from Taiwan The announcement comes while Bahrain's national team is currently competing in the William Jones Cup in Chinese Taipei. The squad opened the tournament with three straight wins, showing promising early form under head coach Georgios Vovoras. That tournament wraps up on July 20, just six days before the Arab Championship tips off, leaving little room for recovery. But it also highlights Bahrain's deepening involvement in the regional basketball scene and its willingness to embrace tough schedules as both host and contender.
