Bulls left without a viable arena as Wan Chai’s Southorn Stadium is ruled not up to standard
Reigning champions Hong Kong Bulls have been left without a venue for China’s National Basketball League play-offs this month, after the governing body ruled Southorn Stadium in Wan Chai was not up to standard.
The Hong Kong outfit are one of eight teams in the Chinese second-tier league this season. They have confirmed receipt of a warning letter from the Chinese Basketball Association, stating there is insufficient space between the stands – the goalposts – and the walls.
The NBL’s standards are on par with the requirements of the sport’s world governing body, Fiba, whose Level 1 matches require a minimum of two metres of unobstructed space.
