The Basketball League returns with 4 matches after a 37-day hiatus

Today, the Basketball League competitions return to the start of the fifth round of the preliminary round after a 37-day hiatus, as the national team is linked to the second window of the final stage of the Asian qualifiers for the 2025 Asian Cup.

The four matches of the round will be held at seven in the evening today, as Al-Jazira will host Al-Wahda, Al-Bataeh will host its counterpart Al-Dhafra, Al-Wasl will host its neighbor Al-Nasr, and in the summit match, Al-Sharjah will meet its guest, Shabab Al-Ahly.

Shabab Al-Ahly and Al-Nasr aspire to snatch the fifth victory in a row, which guarantees each of them maintaining the top spot in the standings with a full score, and rising to a score of 10 points. However, the task of the “Knights of the Basketball” seems difficult against Al-Sharjah (seven points), which is aspiring to its fourth victory to remain among the ranks. The lead constellation.

The match between Sharjah and Shabab Al-Ahly represents the first confrontation for the newcomers in the ranks of the two teams at the level of foreign professionals, after Sharjah included the national team player and playmaker, Di Mario Dixon, who recently obtained Emirati citizenship, while Shabab Al-Ahly moved to strengthen its ranks with the young talent, American Deshawndoe Washington ( 23 years old), who succeeded his compatriot Shahid Davis.

Al-Bataeh and Al-Dhafra teams enter their match with the slogan of breaking up the partnership that brings them together in sixth place with five points each, and taking a step forward in the general standings by rising to a score of seven points, subject to the faltering of Al-Wasl, which is currently in fifth place with six points.

In turn, Al-Wahda is looking from Al-Jazira’s gate for its second victory in the league, which will give it a rise to the seventh point, matched by legitimate ambitions for Al-Jazira to snatch the first victory, which will allow it to give up its current last position and reach the sixth point.
