Amman, October 5, 2026 – The Jordan Basketball Federation has decided to form a number of its working committees, as a first step aimed at strengthening the administrative and technical work system and establishing an integrated institutional approach based on specialization and the distribution of roles and responsibilities. The move aligns with the Federation’s aspirations for the next phase and supports its efforts to enhance the management and development of Jordanian basketball at all levels.

The formation of these committees comes as a first step within a vision focused on distributing roles and responsibilities and making use of specialized expertise and competencies. This is expected to enhance operational efficiency, accelerate decision-making, and support the work of the Board of Directors and executive committees across various areas related to national teams, officiating, and medical and technical matters.

The committee is responsible for technical matters related to the national teams, their preparation and development programs, as well as monitoring technical aspects related to players and coaches, contributing to the development of an integrated and sustainable technical vision for the national teams.

Dr. Osama Hamarneh, meanwhile, chairs the Medical Committee, whose members include Dr. Ghassan Khoury, Dr. Ziad Dahabra, Dr. Salma Breizat, and Dr. Roua Farouqi. The committee will oversee medical matters related to national team players, both male and female, while strengthening preventive and health procedures in accordance with best practices and approved standards.

Nasser Abu Rashed also chairs the Referees Committee, whose members include Marah Hattab, Bahaa Al-Khatib, Marwan Oweis, and Hamza Al-Majali. The committee will oversee the development of the officiating system, enhance the level of referees, and support their development and qualification at all levels, in line with the requirements of competitions and the technical standards adopted locally and internationally.

The formation of the committees comes as part of the Federation’s plan to enhance performance efficiency, strengthen governance, and develop institutional work mechanisms, paving the way for a new phase of organized and specialized work that responds to the aspirations of the Jordanian basketball community.
