Aligned with the FIBA Global Strategy, the FIBA PLUS Fundamentals program supports empowering national federations through interactive seminars.
On June 1 to 3, the program ran multiple sessions of six key areas led by multiple speakers with the objective of providing the Federations with important tools to organize personalized programs in their regions.
FIBA Executive Director – Asia, Hagop Khajirian welcomed the FIBA PLUS program in Dubai. “Sharing one of FIBA's core beliefs, the FIBA Regional Office - Asia will always be about empowering our National Federations to further harness the growth of basketball. Thus, our excitement is in every FIBA PLUS workshop being held in the region, for we know that it would lead to another step towards the kind of development we would want to achieve for each National Federation.”
The program, which was attended by nine National Federations, hosted an agenda focusing on the following areas: governance and operation, grassroots basketball, coaches and officials, Talent development, 3x3 basketball, and strategic planning. Several speakers guided these give-and-take sessions.
During the week, the extensive schedule also explored the significance of 3x3 basketball, a fundamental pillar of FIBA, along with Olympic Solidarity and the impactful "Basketball For Good" initiatives led by the FIBA Foundation.
The three-day program also included an afternoon at the Basketball Without Boarders Asia Camp in Abu Dhabi.
