    BFI Looks At Alternate Route Via Riyadh To Bring Indian Basketball Team Home From Qatar, Says Team Manager Sajid Rahman

    FIBA Basketball World Cup: The Indian men's national basketball team, stranded in Doha due to West Asia turmoil, could return home through an alternate route via Riyadh if airspace restrictions in the Middle East continue, said team manager Sajid Rahman to IANS on Thursday.

    The Indian contingent, currently in Doha after travelling for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, has been unable to proceed with its schedule or return home due to the closure of regional airspace due to the US-Israel attack on Iran.

    Rahman, who also serves as General Secretary of the Assam Basketball Association, said officials from the Basketball Federation of India and the Indian embassy are exploring contingency plans while monitoring the situation.
