The WABA decided to change the hosting country of the 18th edition of the Champions Cup due to security concerns of the players in Baghdad. It was supposed to be the first time Baghdad hosted a major basketball event since 1988.
The Champions Cup sees the best club teams from all across West Asia face off for regional supremacy. The tournament's defending champions are Al-Riyadi Beirut of Lebanon, which beat Petrochimi of Iran, 83-69, in last year's Final in Amman, Jordan.
