The first round of the Cubk Championship has become a reason for joy for many teams. Shabab Al-Ahli secured a confident victory over Al-Jazira with a score of 118-56. Sharjah won against Al-Wasl 82-62 in group A, while Al-Nasr defeated Al-Dhafra 98-52, and Al-Batin beat Al-Wakhdah 88-62 in group B.

The championships are taking place without the participation of national players, who are currently in the national team camp in Serbia, where they are preparing for the third and decisive stage of the qualifying tournament for the 2025 Asian Championship. The National Team will host two important games on the 22nd and 25th against the teams of Syria and Lebanon.

After the results of the first round, all teams entered the tournament's quarterfinals, which will be determined later, with matches in the format of "one on one." The second round of the championship will take place next week, where Sharjah will play against Al-Jazira, Al-Wasl will meet with Shabab Al-Ahli, Al-Wakhdah will face Al-Nasr, and Al-Dhafra will compete with Al-Batin.
