Qualification and Recent Success of Women’s Team
Indian women’s basketball team members have built major progress through their recent performances. The basketball team won the championship title at the 3rd South Asian Basketball Association Women’s Championship 2025 qualifying them for Level 2 of FIBA Women’s Asia Cup. Winning this tournament advanced them into the China-based competition which would take place from July 13 to July 20, 2025.
The organization continues to prove itself by succeeding in achieving Division A competition following its 2017 FIBA Women’s Asia Cup Division B promotion victory. The SABA Championship victory demonstrates their strategic move to compete in upper divisions.
FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2025
The FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2025 competition will welcome both Indian men and women basketball teams to play at the Singapore Sports Hub OCBC Square between March 26-30. The tournament enables 3×3 teams to display their quick-playing abilities and serves as a gateway for both FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2026 and FIBA 3×3 Champions Cup 2026 qualification.
In Pool B competition the Indian men stood against three teams consisting of the Republic of Korea and Macau while facing the Philippines. The Indian team displayed deep commitment to their win when they beat the Philippines team 21-11 which denied Gilas Pilipinas entry into the main draw. The women’s team of India played matches against Hong Kong ahead of facing Chinese Taipei and Guam in Pool B. Moving past the qualifiers into the main draw represents essential value because it will secure their 3×3 domain standing.

Through its essential role the Basketball Federation of India gives essential developmental tools to basketball players by implementing strategic coaching practices as well as arranging international tournament opportunities. The teams require such backing to advance India’s place within Asian basketball.
