Sharjah 24: After defeating Group B, the men's basketball team of Sharjah Sports Club has advanced to the semi-finals of the 5th Sharjah International Basketball Championship.
The club qualified after defeating Lebanon's Hoops squad 78-63 on Saturday night at Al Bataeh Sports Club in the second round of the group stage.

The Sharjah Sports Council, in partnership with the "Jam" Club, is sponsoring the event, which will feature six teams from five countries—the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Lebanon—and will take place from September 5–10.

Having won the tournament twice previously, Sharjah is the reigning champion. The team's first victory came in the second edition in February 2014 over Al Jazeera Club of Egypt, and their second came in the previous season in March 2024 when they won against the Antonine club of Lebanon.
