The Bahrain Basketball Association has announced the squad for the first training camp of Bahrain’s Under-18 national team ahead of the GCC Under-18 Basketball Championship.

Following their appearance at the 31st Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany last March, where the team finished winless and placed 12th overall, the national side now turns its attention to the regional competition.

The tournament is scheduled to take place in Qatar from July 17 to 22 and will also serve as a qualifier for the Asian Cup.

The selected squad features strong representation from clubs across Bahrain; Manama contributes seven players: Mujtaba Mahmood Rayan, Ali Hussain Ferdousi, Mohammed Mahmood Farhan, Mohammed Adel Hussain, Ali Khalil Mohammed, Ali Ayman Abdulredha Hamza, and Ehsan Abdulredha Ali.

Al Ahli has four players included in the squad: Yousif Ali Al Samaheeji, Mohammed Hameed Haider, Ali Sadiq Al Haddad, and Hussain Fuad Moosa.

Khalid Ali Hafedh and Mahdi Habib Ahmed are selected from Muharraq, while Divine Abochi and Jock James represent Al Najma.

Additional call-ups include Hussain Madan from Nuwaidrat Club, Khalid Mohammed from Samaheej Club, as well as Hassan Abdulkadir and Somto Patrick Onoduenyi.

Leading the side will be veteran coach Salman Ramadan, who joins the national setup following a strong season with Manama Club, where he guided the team to the finals of the 2025–2026 Zain Bahrain Basketball League.
