BASKETBALL – BAHRAIN’S newly signed senior men’s basketball national team head coach Slobodan Subotic has arrived in the kingdom to begin his tenure. The veteran Greek-Slovenian tactician was received upon reaching Bahrain International Airport by national team manager Mohammed Dawood.
Subotic is taking over for the departed Georgios Vovoras, who left his post in May less than a year after his appointment. Subotic is set to begin the national team’s training programme for their major tournaments in the coming months, first of which will be the opening round of pre-qualifiers for the Fiba Asia Cup 2029, to be held in Dubai from August 24 to September 1.
Bahrain’s senior men’s squad are also scheduled to participate in the men’s basketball tournament at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4; and then, if qualified, the second round of Fiba Asia Cup 2029 pre-qualifiers, scheduled from November 23 to December 1 at a yet-to-be-determined host venue.
