THAILAND QUALIFIES FOR FIRST EVER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AS FINAL FOUR DECIDED

Thailand have made history at the 2022 IWBF Asia Oceania Championships in Phuket Thailand, securing their first-ever place at a World Championships after triumphing over Malaysia, 64-37, in the quarter-final to progress to the semi-finals and ensure a top-four finish.

Thailand’s Head Coach, Mohammadreza Dastyar, said:

“This is the first time that the team has succeeded in securing a place to participate in a World Competition and it’s thanks to the efforts of the athletes with the support of the Basketball Association that we’ve managed to do this. We hope to make the Thai people happy by working harder to put on performances they can be proud of at the World Championships in Dubai.”

Korea, Iran, and Australia also guaranteed themselves spots at the 2022 IWBF World Championships, taking place in Dubai later this year, as they joined the hosts Thailand in the semi-finals following winning their respective quarter-finals.
