Meanwhile, the FIBA WASL-Gulf League will feature new champions Shabab Al Ahli, along with Ittihad Club and Al Qadsia SC, both of which made their first appearances in the tournament this season.
The six teams will be joined by two more — BC Astana from CABA and Tamil Nadu from SABA.
In the group stage, each team will play against all the others once. The top two teams from each group will move on to the Semi-Finals, while the teams finishing third and fourth will be knocked out.
The winners of the Semi-Finals will play in the Final for the championship. The losing teams will face each other in the Third-Place Game. Each matchday will have two games.
