Newly-elected BAS board introduce Task Force to association members and other key stakeholders during CNY celebrations
BAS Board members meet up with contingent from FIBA Asia Board visiting Singapore to attend fifth board meeting for the 2023-27 cycle.
27th Feb, 2026
The newly-elected BAS board gathered the wider basketball fraternity in Singapore last Friday for the first time since the elections held in January in a very different environment. Celebrating the Year of the Horse, BAS hosted leaders of the various member clubs, along with industry partners at key sponsor, K-Star’s venue in Plaza Singapura for a lo-hei and mingling session.
While ushering the new year and new beginnings, the achievements of the previous year were lauded, with tokens of appreciations being presented to the coaches and team managers for the last year’s SEA Games squads. In addition, the SEA Games silver medalists from the men’s 3×3 team were presented with monetary rewards approved by the Board. The athletes were not able to be present to receive the award as they were competing in the 3×3 Basketball Thailand International League 2026.
In looking forward to a successful year ahead, key sponsors: KSTAR Entertainment Pte Ltd, Ocean Curry Fish Head Restaurant and SIG Group, were recognized for their active support and generous sponsorship, helping to increase the vibrancy of local basketball. The new Task Force assembled by the Board is also expected provide valued contributions in the year ahead. Members of the Task Force were introduced to the club leadership and sponsors, and presented with certificates of appointment.
The Task Force–led by selected Board members, key Secretariat representatives and external advisors appointed on a need basis–will table recommendations to the Board for consideration and approval, and help to oversee the execution of approved programmes to ensure transparency and accountability. The Task Force is fortunate to be guided not only by the collective experience of the appointed members, but also insights and inspiration drawn from recent meet-ups with members of the FIBA Asia Board, who were in Singapore for the fifth meeting of FIBA Asia’s 2023-2027 cycle. The recommendations made by FIBA senior executives cover areas such as improvements in technical competencies, coaching as well as increased access to competitions—particularly important for youth development.
The current U23s will play a critical role in the success of Team Singapore in the upcoming editions of the SEA Games, leading up to SEA Games 2029 which will be hosted in Singapore. As such, initiatives to assemble and nurture a U23 national team will be one of the top priorities for the task force, along with efforts to improve the standard of coaching, officiating and tournament administration.
