SABA Championship
SABA Championship
The SABA Championship is a basketball tournament for national teams from South Asia. It is run by the South Asia Basketball Association (SABA), a regional group under FIBA Asia. The tournament acts as a qualifier for bigger FIBA Asia events such as the FIBA Asia Championship and the FIBA Asia Cup.
Since the end of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, a new qualification format has been introduced for the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup and for future continental championships. Under this system, teams play home-and-away pre-qualifier games to decide who advances to the main qualifiers, which compete for the 16 berths in the continental championships.
