Today, the Al-Ittihad basketball team will meet their counterpart in the men’s basketball final at the first Saudi Arabian Games in the green hall of the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Olympic Complex.
The Dream Basket team booked their place in the final after beating Al Wahda 63-55 in the semi-final, and one of them beat Al-Fateh 89-73 in the same round.
With this result, the dream basket returns to its former glory from the big door as one of the podium competitions, after having been the hardest number to play for decades.
Al-Fateh and Al-Wahda teams will also meet today in the match for third place.
The Dream Basket team beat Al Ansar in the quarter-finals and Al Wahda in the semi-finals, and the Uhud team achieved this by defeating Al Ahly and Al Fateh.
What matters for the federal team in the first Saudi Arabian Games is that they made it to the final basketball game, even though they are the only team at the game level to participate without foreign professionals and without their coach. The Football Association decided not to participate in foreign professionals before reversing this decision. But he set conditions for participation that once again deprived the trade union of foreign specialists.
It is noteworthy that in previous matches the team was coached by Ghassan Yanbawi, and today the Tunisian coach and his professional compatriot will arrive in the final.
