The event will take place in Pattaya, Thailand between the 27th November – 8th December 2019.
The championships, which is being hosted by the Thailand Wheelchair Basketball Association, will decide the countries from the Asia Oceania Zone that will qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
“Nothing but winning the championships can make us feel content,” Abedi, who currently plays at 1907 Fenerbahçe in Turkey’s Super League, said in an interview with IWBF.org.
“I am really proud of playing for one the top wheelchair basketball teams in the world, although I did not have enough opportunities to prepare for the tournament other than participating in my league matches and other tournaments. Moreover, due to the scheduled time of 2019 Asia Oceania Championships, I have not been able to attend the pre-camps of our national team but we are here to win the title,” he said.
