The General Assembly of the Qatar Basketball Federation (QBF) re-elected Mohammed bin Saad Al Mughaseeb as its President for a new four-year term that will last until 2028.

The decision was made during the electoral General Assembly meeting convened on Thursday at the federation’s headquarters in Al Gharafa.

During the meeting, Saadoun Sabah Al Kuwari was appointed as Secretary-General while Ahmed Youssef Mohammed Mubarak Al Darwish was designated as Assistant Secretary-General.

Abdullah Sultan Al Jaber, Abdulrahman Hamad Mohammed Al Manea, Mishaal Abdullah Youssef Al Malki, and Ahmed Youssef Mohammed Mubarak Al Darwish were elected to the QBF’s Board of Directors. Meanwhile, Zahra Majed Burhan Al Zaidan was nominated as a female member of the Board.

Al Mughaiseeb presided over the meeting, which was also attended by Al Kuwari, along with Ishaq Al Hashemi, a representative from the Qatar Olympic Committee’s Sports Affairs Department. Al Hashemi confirmed that the meeting met the legal quorum required by the nine clubs.

In his opening remarks, Al Mughaiseeb emphasised the QBF’s dedication to improving communication with Qatari clubs to foster the sport’s development and enhance the quality of local competitions.

He reiterated that the ongoing initiatives were aimed at fulfilling the federation’s objectives and enriching both local and international competitions.

The meeting addressed several significant topics, including the QBF’s forthcoming strategy and the national teams’ preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will be hosted by Qatar, marking the first time this event takes place in the Middle East.

The QBF’s future strategy was also deliberated, along with preparations for upcoming events such as the 2030 Asian Games and initiatives aimed at developing women’s teams, all contributing to the realisation of Qatar Vision 2030 in the realm of sports.

Al Mughaiseeb expressed appreciation for the support extended by Qatar Olympic Committee President HE Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, QOC Secretary-General Jassim bin Rashid Al Buainain, and QBF’s Honorary President HE Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman A Thani.
