Get ready, Philippines — basketball history is about to be written once again. 🇵🇭
The Philippines has officially been named host of the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup 2027, marking a highly anticipated return to staging a major continental basketball tournament. The announcement is a proud moment not just for the national basketball community, but for the entire nation, which last hosted a continental-level event in 2013.
That year, Manila welcomed Asia’s best male players for the FIBA Asia Championship, a tournament fondly remembered for electrifying crowds and showcasing the Philippines’ deep love for the game. This time, the spotlight shines on women’s basketball — and the chance to inspire a new generation of fans and athletes.
Hosting the 2027 Women’s Asia Cup is both a recognition of the country’s rich basketball culture and an opportunity to promote women’s sports on the grandest stage in Asia. The tournament will bring together the region’s top national teams, all vying for supremacy, and will also serve as a key qualifier for global competitions.
For the Philippines, it’s more than just a sporting event. It’s a chance to show the world once again how basketball unites and excites Filipinos — from the packed arenas to the lively streets where every game is watched, cheered, and celebrated with heart.
As preparations begin, the Philippine basketball community can look forward to welcoming Asia’s finest athletes, showcasing world-class hospitality, and proving yet again why the country is one of the sport’s most passionate homes.
The countdown to 2027 has begun. The stage is set, the fans are ready — and once again, the world will see the Philippines light up for basketball.
