Abdullah Yassin Ismail Musa, a player for Al Rayyan Club and Qatar’s national basketball team, won first place in the Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Asia camp, which was held in Singapore from June 19 to 22.

The BWB Asia camp was jointly organized by FIBA and the NBA, and was supervised by players and coaches from the two entities.

The event, the premier platform for discovering emerging talent in Asia and Oceania, attracted 60 players from 17 countries, all under the age of 17. They represented the elite of emerging talents carefully selected after a year-long monitoring.

Among those talents, Abdullah Yassin stood out not only as Qatar’s representative but as the only Arab in this edition, shouldering the responsibility of representing Arabs and emerging as the champion in an unprecedented achievement.

During the camp, the Qatari player drew attention thanks to his outstanding skills, his innate ability to read the field, and his fighting spirit, which was clearly evident in training and friendly matches.

Qatar Basketball Federation President Mohammed Saad Al Meghaiseeb said the achievement was an unprecedented accomplishment at the Qatari and Arab basketball levels.

“This is a huge achievement and it shows that our talent development project, which began many years ago, is finally starting to bear fruit. Abdullah’s participation in the BWB Asia camp and his win weren’t mere coincidences. It was the result of meticulous planning and a collective effort by the federation, clubs, coaches, the player’s family, and everyone who supported him,” he said.

For his part, Abdullah Yassin Ismail Musa expressed his overwhelming happiness with his achievement, commending the efforts of all those who supported him, including the Qatar Basketball Federation, his family, coaches, the national team and Al Rayyan Club.
