Chemidor Wins FIBA Asia Champions Cup WABA Qualifiers

The Iranian representative defeated Naft Baghdad 66-58 in its last match and claimed the title.

Another Iranian team Petrochimi, who had won the previous edition, became runner-up.

Naft Baghdad finished in third place and Syria’s Al Jaych and Qalandia from Palestine came fourth and fifth respectively.

This was a monumental tournament for the Iraq capital, because the city hosted its first major basketball event since 1988.
