Doha: After the success of Aspire Jam in the past three years, Aspire Zone has announced that this year’s edition will be held on March 14 from 3pm to 8pm at Aspire Park Basketball Court.
The fourth edition of Aspire Jam is an opportunity for Qatar’s best street basketball players to showcase skills and techniques in front of audience, Qatar News Agency reports.
Aspire Jam is a three-on-three tournament with two substitutes completing the team of five.
All games will be played on a half court as in the previous years. This edition will feature 16 teams competing for the coveted title.
Abdulla Al Khater, Events Manager, Aspire Zone, said: “Basketball is a popular sport in Qatar and we are delighted to be organising the fourth edition of Aspire Jam.
