West Asia edit

On March 17, 2017, Al-Riyadi of Lebanon ruled the West Asia Basketball Association (WABA) Champions Cup for the fourth time in their history after beating defending champions Petrochimi of Iran, 83-69, in the Final in Amman, Jordan.[5] Joining the finalists is the first-time participants Sareyyet Ramallah of Palestine, which qualified by virtue of their win over Iraq's Al Mina the day before.

Southeast Asia edit

On April 23, 2017, Mono Vampire of Thailand qualified to the main tournament by being the champion of TBSL (Thailand Basketball Super League).

Singapore Slingers, who was the runner-up in the ASEAN Basketball League in 2017, was supposed to play in the tournament, but apparently withdrew due to the 2017 Southeast Asian Games.[citation needed]

Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas were given a wildcard slot on September 5, as a replacement to Japan's SunRockers Shibuya. SunRockers Shibuya withdrew their participation due to scheduling conflicts with the B.League.[6]

Persian Gulf edit

The 37th GCC Club Basketball Championship was held from May 12 up to May 20, 2017 in Manama, Bahrain. United Arab Emirates' Al-Ahli defeated their compatriots Al Shabab in the final. Joining the champions is the Manama Club of Bahrain, who took the bronze medal by defeating Al-Rayyan of Qatar.[7] Eight teams vied for the two slots allotted for Persian Gulf Region. The draw for the tournament was held on April 7, 2017.[8]

South Asia edit

The 2017 SABA Championship, which is also the qualifying tournament for the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup and 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers, was also designated as the qualifying tournament for SABA subzone for the 2017 FIBA Asia Champions Cup. Since India won the tournament, their top domestic club will also represent South Asia, [9] which means that the defending Indian champs ONGC will represent India and South Asia.

Draw edit

The draw was held in Beijing on 25 August 2017.[10][11] Three pots used for the draw. All ten teams except China's representative where distributed among the pots according to their geographical locations. The Chinese representative chose the group which they would like to be in.[12] The identity of the Japanese team which later withdrew were not yet announced at the time of the draw.
