FIBA today announced a ten-year agreement granting the East Asia Super League (EASL) FIBA Asia’s recognition and support to run an annual league for the top professional clubs in East Asia and the Philippines.
Unfortunately, the 2020 tournament, scheduled to be held in Macao in September, was canceled earlier this month due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an exclusive interview with the Post, Hagop Khajirian, the International Basketball Federation’s (Fiba) executive director for Asia, said EASL was the “only adopted league for the region”, adding the East Asia Basketball Association (Eaba), which answers to Fiba but has been working with Li on his project, was “impeded to set up such a league”. “It’s well-known that Fiba has granted exclusive recognition to EASL to operate an international club competition with the top clubs from national leagues and federations in Fiba’s East Asia sub-zone and the Philippines,” Khajirian said.
