JAKARTA The Central Board of the Indonesian Basketball Association (PP Perbasi) has set a different target for the Men's Basketball Team and Women's 3X3 at the 2024 FIBA Asia Cup.

The tournament will take place in Singapore on 27-31 March 2024. The Women's Basketball national team is targeted to repeat their success in the previous edition, while the Men's Basketball National Team is expected to pass the qualifying round.

"The Women's Basketball National Team at least maintains previous achievements. Meanwhile, the Putra Basketball National Team is able to pass the qualifying round," said Secretary General of Perbasi, Nirmala Dewi.

The Indonesian Men's Basketball National Team and Women's 3X3 are currently conducting a training camp at the Respect Basketball Arena De Latinos BSD City. They have been practicing since February 19, 2024.

They are under the tutelage of coach Fandi Andika Ramadhani. This training camp will last until departure day on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

Their preparations include two test matches against DKI Selection. The first trial takes place on Thursday, March 14, 2024, followed by the next trial on March 15, 2024.

"This trial is to see how far players have absorbed the training material so far," said team coach Fandi Andika Ramadhani.

"The plan is that this week we can be reduced to four players both in the Men's and Women's national teams. Then, we can focus more on strengthening the team," he said.

Based on the draw, the Women's Basketball 3X3 national team is in Group C with India, Hong Kong, and the North Mariana Islands. If they qualify, they will join Group D with Australia and New Zealand.

The Women's Basketball national team will start the struggle on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, against Hong Kong. A day later they fought twice against India and the North Mariana Islands.

In the previous edition, namely 2022 in Singapore, the Women's Basketball National Team 3X3 was able to win third place. That is their highest achievement in international events.

Then, for the 3X3 Men's Basketball National Team, they will start the struggle in the Group B qualifying round. They joined Sri Lanka, South Korea, and the North Mariana Islands.

According to schedule, Serigne Modou Kane and his friends will have two matches at once on the first day, Wednesday, March 27, 2024. They will challenge Sri Lanka first before fighting South Korea.

A day later, the Men's Basketball 3X3 national team is scheduled to face the North Mariana Islands. If they qualify, they will meet Mongolia and Thailand in the next phase in Group B.
