WABA Championship

The WABA Championship is a tournament between the national men's basketball teams of the West Asian region. It was first held in Beirut in 1999, and the intention was to keep it once a year thereafter. Despite several years of intermittency, the tournament is now back to its annual format as intended. It serves as the West Asian qualifying tournament for the FIBA Asia Cup and FIBA Asia Challenge.
