26th SEA Games: Draw completed as basketball returns to SEA Games fold
JAKARTA, Indonesia (26th SEA Games): Basketball competitions return to the SEA Games fold after a break of one edition – when Laos the hosts of the previous edition decided to cut down the number of disciplines – with 10 teams in the men’s section and five among women in fray for the medals.
The draw for the men’s competition was completed on Tuesday under the supervision of FIBA Asia Secretary General and the Technical Delegate for basketball event Dato’ Yeoh Choo Hock (third from left in the pic above).
The basketball event of the 26th SEA Games will also feature the National Teams of Thailand who were recently reinstated into the FIBA Asia family after a suspension.
“We are all very excited for a lot of reasons,” said Dato’ Yeoh after the draw.
“For one, basketball is back in the SEA Games. Thailand’s suspension has been revoked. And to me it means an additional competition of very high quality in our region,” he said.
“With the ABL being a grand success over the last two years, teams from South East Asia have improved tremendously and their performance in recent FIBA Asia competitions is an example. I am sure the competition at SEA Games will be another step,” he said.
Groupings for the Preliminary Round – Men’s competition
Group A: Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam.
Group B: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar
The top two teams from each group will advance to the cris-cross semifinals.
Five teams: Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar will battle it out in the women’s section in a single group round-robin at the end of which the medals will be decided.
The 26th SEA Games is scheduled to be inaugurated by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Nov 11 and will run till Nov 22. Basketball games will be played between Nov 14-20.
FIBA Asia
I agree! This is going to be the very first test of how contribution the ABL has made to the growth of Basketball in the region. This should also make the Philippine campaign more interesting or challenging.
