Sana'a - Saba:
The Yemeni General Basketball Federation announced the date of the Republic Championship for first-class youth clubs born in 2005 for the 2024/2025 season during the period from March 11-16.
The Federation confirmed that the tournament competitions will be held in Sana'a with the participation of first-class clubs, namely Shaab Hadramout, Sayoun, Al-Barq Tarim, Shamsan, Al-Mina, Al-Tilal, Wahda Sana'a, and Al-Ahly Sana'a.
A meeting at the Federation's headquarters, headed by Chairman of the Board of Directors Abdul Sattar Al-Hamdani, and including the Federation's Secretary-General Jamal Ibrahim and the Chairman of the Competitions Committee Hamoud Taher, discussed the organizational and technical aspects of holding the tournament.
The tournament was scheduled to be held last January, but the federation was forced to postpone it due to the pressure of the men's first division league matches, as well as in response to the clubs' request during the technical meeting held last January.
The eight teams will compete in two groups to win the Youth Championship title for those born in 2005. The first group includes the teams Shaab Hadramout, Ahli Sana'a, Sayoun and Shamsan, while the second group includes the teams of Al-Mina, Wahda Sana'a, Al-Barq Tarim and Al-Tilal.
The teams of each group will play each other in a one-to-one system, with the first and second from each group qualifying for the golden square, which will be held in a scissors system to determine the qualifiers for the final.
