The CIRS Panel on "The Evolution of Basketball in the Middle East," was held on May 29, 2025, at Georgetown University Hilltop Campus in Washington, D.C., and is an extension of the CIRS research initiative on "America’s Game in the Middle East: the 2027 Qatar Basketball World Cup."
About the Panel: Missionaries, merchants and military brought the game of basketball starting in the early twentieth century to the Middle East, making it the only American sport that successfully spread throughout the region. In this panel, we are going to discuss the history and today’s popularity of basketball across the Middle East, and American-Middle Eastern engagements in basketball such as NBA pre-season games in Abu Dhabi, Gulf sponsorships of American teams, and Middle Eastern players at U.S. college teams.
