3x3 Basketball Team Face Tough Asian Test
Bahrain's men's 3x3 basketball national team have learned their schedule for the 20th Asian Games in Aichi and Nagoya, Japan, following the release of the competition programme by the Bahrain Olympic Committee yesterday.
The kingdom's squad will compete in Pool C alongside Chinese Taipei, Qatar and Indonesia in the preliminary round of the tournament.
The Asian Games will take place from September 19 to October 4, with the 3x3 basketball competition forming part of the 43-sport programme.
Bahrain will open their campaign on Monday, September 21, against Chinese Taipei at 12.55pm before returning to the court later the same day to face Indonesia at 2.35pm.
Bahrain will then complete their preliminary-round schedule on Wednesday, September 23, when they take on Gulf rivals Qatar at 8.30am. All match times are Bahrain time.
The kingdom will be aiming to build on the momentum gained from a successful outing at the fourth GCC Games in Doha last May, where they secured the silver medal.
Bahrain's squad for the Asiad is composed of Bogdan Dragovic, Mohammed Buallay, Austin Ajukwa and Wayne Chism.
The team will be looking to challenge some of Asia's strongest 3x3 nations as they bid for a place in the knockout rounds and a chance to compete for the medals at the continental showpiece.
