Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) gives you a chance to rally behind our Gilas Pilipinas Men’s National Team for this week’s leg of the 2021 FIBA Asia Qualifiers beginning later at 9 PM, Philippine time.
Iran and Qatar open the competition in the first game at 9 PM. Meanwhile, Gilas debuts its 2021 lineup against South Korea on June 16 at 6 PM.
“Filipino basketball fans like myself have waited a long time for this, and we are just as excited to have international basketball in our country again. We know at Smart that physical homecourt support is still not possible at this time, but we can maximize our virtual homecourt advantage by rallying behind our national team online.”
Alfredo S. Panlilio, PLDT Inc. and Smart Communications President and CEO
The Philippine team will also face Indonesia on June 18 at 6 PM before closing out against South Korea on June 20 at 3 PM.
“We made sure that the game we all love makes it to the palm of every Smart subscriber’s hand. This, of course, is made more special because we finally get to see our very own Gilas Pilipinas play for flag on the world basketball stage once again,” added Panlilio, who is also the President of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP).
