ABL set for return with Invitational Tournament Series 2023

After a three-year lull, the Asean Basketball League (ABL) is finally

set for its much-awaited return with its 11th season through the

Invitational Tournament Series 2023.

As the sporting world gets back to its feet, the league is forging ahead

with the Invitational Tournament that will feature games across the

region starting off on Jan. 2, 2023.

The league will then take a break in February to respect the

International Window for men’s basketball before the playoffs and the

finals take place in early March.

Some of the best squads around the region are expected to take the

centerstage and go for a mad dash for glory in the three-month Southeast

Asian basketball spectacle.

Even as the leagues around the region have grown along with the

progression of the ABL over the years since its foundation in 2009, the

Invitational remains consistent to the league’s commitment to maintain a

strong presence as a developmental platform for all the teams involved.

ABL Chief Operating Officer Kuhan Foo is pleased with the return of the

first-ever regional basketball league in Asia, noting that the move is a

huge step forward in sustaining the growth of the sport in the region

over the past 10 years.

“We’re glad to announce that the Asean Basketball League is finally

coming back for its 11th season with the ABL Invitational Tournament

Series 2023. After the Covid-19 pandemic put everything to a halt, the

return of the ABL is a huge step towards the right direction as we hope

to give our fans the sense of normalcy while we continue to recover from

the after-effects of the pandemic,” said Foo.

“We are excited to welcome our teams, our players and our fans back in

our bid to further foster the growth of basketball across the region,”

he added, stressing the role of the league to the vast improvements of

countries like Singapore and Vietnam which finally won historic medals

in the Southeast Asian Games with the former winning in 2013 and 2015

while the latter bagging one in 2019.
