Qatar’s Premier Basketball League for Non-Professional Players
The Evolution of the V-League Basketball Tournament
The V-League Basketball Tournament began as a modest local competition with just six teams. Over the years, it evolved into a major sporting event in Qatar. Initially held once a year, the tournament grew in popularity and frequency—first becoming a biannual event, and now taking place every three months. It is one of Qatar’s most dynamic and consistent basketball tournaments, offering a professional experience for amateur players.

It provides a professional environment for non-professional players to compete at a high level without giving up their careers or studies.
