IN 100 days, the best players from the Philippines and all over the world will converge in Manila for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023.
The Philippines — and its well-renowned passionate fans — will play host to the USA and Serbia, as well as Lithuania and Greece, four of the top 10-ranked teams that will play in the country in the group phase of competition from Aug. 25 to Sept. 10.
Teams from Angola, Dominican Republic, Italy, South Sudan, China, Puerto Rico, Jordan, New Zealand, Egypt, Mexico, and Montenegro round out the visitors who will enjoy Filipino hospitality, with games set to be played at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City and the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Filipinos will grant enviable homecourt advantage to the Gilas Pilipinas men’s team, as the squad starts its campaign in the tournament’s first game at the Philippine Arena on Aug. 25.
To mark the countdown and engage the local market in the Philippines, a 100 Days-to-Go TVC will be aired on key channels and social media platforms while LED billboards along key sites in the Metro will also feature various materials.
