The FIBAWest Asia Super League (WASL) is a regional basketball league organised by FIBA Asia, consisting of clubs from West Asia, India and Kazakhstan. The league was announced in 2022 and started with the inaugural season from December, until June 2023.
There are two zones in the competition: West Asia and the Gulf. The top four teams from each zone compete in the final eight for the title. The champion and runner-up qualify for the Basketball Champions League Asia (BCL).
Al Riyadi is the most successful team in the team's history, as they have won two titles.
On March 31, 2022 FIBA announced the creation of the West Asia Super League. The United Arab Emirates-based company eVulpa was appointed as partner for its commercial rights. [1]
The inaugural season began on 19 December 2022, and ended in May 2023, with a total of eighteen teams playing in the 2022–23 season. [2] The first points in the league were scored by Al Bashaer's Aaron Clyde. [3]
