Dubai Basketball, the emerging sports franchise, has taken a significant stride towards establishing itself in the global basketball arena with a strategic partnership agreement signed with Shabab Al Ahli Club.
This collaboration aims to elevate basketball standards locally and internationally through an exchange of expertise and resources.
The agreement, inked by Majid Sultan bin Sulaiman, CEO of Shabab Al Ahli Club, and Salem bin Dasmal, President of Dubai Basketball, encompasses a broad spectrum of initiatives. These include mutual coaching and administrative exchanges, joint training camps, and utilization of sports facilities. Notably, Dubai Basketball, licensed by the UAE Basketball Association and Dubai Sports Council, will debut in the prestigious Adriatic Basketball Association (ABA) League from the 2024-2025 season, a stepping stone towards the coveted EuroLeague.
"This partnership marks a transformative era for both clubs,"
expressed Majid Sultan bin Sulaiman, emphasizing its potential to elevate Shabab Al Ahli's basketball program regionally. Salem bin Dasmal echoed these sentiments, highlighting the alignment with Dubai's commitment to sports development and community enrichment.
With home games slated at the Coca-Cola Arena and training sessions hosted by Shabab Al Ahli Club, the collaboration aims to bolster technical skills and broaden basketball's appeal across diverse demographics.
