FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers on the Smart LiveStream App

FIBA global partner Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) said that the app could be downloaded on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and is now accessible to subscribers of all networks—yes, not just Smart.

Gilas Pilipinas is clustered in Group B alongside New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Chinese Taipei.

The face-offs will start on February 22 vs Hong Kong (8 PM) and February 25 vs Chinese Taipei (7:30 PM).

This February schedule is the first of six windows of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers where the top two teams from six groups will advance to the Asia Cup in 2025 to be held in Qatar.

In case you missed it, Gilas will be led by the most victorious coach in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), Tim Cone. The 66-year-old is banking on the pool's continuity to lead them to the next stages of the qualifiers. The master tactician led the same core team to the Philippines’ first Asian Games gold after 61 years.

The team is composed of seven-time PBA MVP June Mar Fajardo, Scottie Thompson, Dwight Ramos, Kai Sotto, CJ Perez, Chris Newsome, Calvin Oftana, Jamie Malonzo, Kevin Quiambao, Carl Tamayo, AJ Edu, and naturalized player Justin Brownlee.

To those who want to support Gilas live, tickets are available for purchase at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City for its February 25 match versus Chinese Taipei.

Coming off our successful hosting of the FIBA World Cup 2023, we want to continue empowering all Filipino fans to watch and support Gilas, powered by Smart's world-class mobile network, said Kristine A. Go, SVP and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart.

Whether you're cheering from the stands or supporting online via the Smart LiveStream App, we want to enable everyone to rally behind Gilas as they carry our flag on the world stage once again, said Jude H.  Turcuato, FVP and Head of Sports at PLDT and Smart.

Apart from FIBA games, the Smart LiveStream App also offers access to other live sports such as the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), the ongoing National Basketball Training Center (NBTC), the recent Manila Hustle, and Pokemon Unite Asia Champions League.
