WITH a historic FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 beckoning, the Philippines – as well as co-hosts Japan and Indonesia – is continuing to answer the call.
On their second Philippine visit this year, FIBA officials acknowledged even more progress made by the continental neighbors in preparation for a basketball world meet with three countries as co-hosts for the first time.
“The progress here is really pleasing. We have really good confidence in the team,” said FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Executive Director David Crocker.
“It sounds like it could be complex, but it’s been a great collaboration among the three countries. They are working exceptionally well together. It’s being well-led by the Philippine group, they are the first among equals here, and they’re doing a great job of bringing their partners along. Right now, we’re in really good shape,” he added.
