Inspired by the rise of the ASEAN Basketball League, Bangkok Storm started to take shape in early 2018 and less than a year later, the club has its eyes set on the 2019-2020 ASEAN Basketball League (ABL).
Built on the pillars of Support, Teamwork, Opportunity, Resilience and Modesty, Bangkok Storm aims to create a world-class basketball team and surrounding community through forward-thinking vision, industry-leading customer service and cutting-edge community outreach. The team has set clear goals for its road to the ABL Season 10 starting in December 2019, including competing in five Southeast Asian regional and international competitions between July and October this year.
Plans for the mid-term include continued off-season competition in top regional and international competitions, construction of a Bangkok Storm dedicated training facility, the establishment of a youth development facility in order to foster new talent, and the development of a new state-of-the-art basketball venue.
Based at Nimubutr Stadium, an indoor sporting arena with a capacity of 5,600 spectators, Bangkok Storm aims to make a positive impact towards social change. The team engages in active community outreach, inspiring young talent via social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, fan-friendly game experiences, school visits and charity activities. Bangkok Storm supports Save Elephant Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing care and assistance to Thailand’s captive elephant population.
Competing in the ASEAN Basketball League, Bangkok Storm will become part of one of the world’s most prominent basketball leagues. Founded in 2009, the ABL was established as a regional basketball league with teams from six ASEAN member nations. It has since grown beyond the ASEAN region and today includes 10 of Asia’s best basketball nations with plans to grow to 16 teams in coming years.
