FIBA hosting magpapalago sa ekonomiya, turismo ng Phl
MANILA, Philippines — Iginiit ng Malacañang na ang panalo ng Pilipinas sa bidding sa FIBA World Cup 2023 hosting kasama ang Japan at Indonesia ay pagpapakita ng pag-angat at muling pagkakakilala sa bansa sa mundo ng international sports. Magugunitang huling nag-host ng FIBA ang Pilipinas noong 1978.
Sinabi ni Communications Sec. Martin Andanar, ang FIBA World Cup na gagawin sa Manila, Okinawa at Jakarta ay tiyak na magpapalago sa sektor ng turismo at hihikayat ng mga bagong investments para sa Pilipinas.
Inihayag ni Andanar na kanilang pinasasalamatan at pinupuri ang Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas sa kanilang commitment at determinasyong makuha ang pinag-aagawang oportunidad na makapag-host ng FIBA World Cup.
“Winning the bid to host Fiba 2023 World Cup together with Japan and Indonesia marks the country’s re-emergence and rising prominence in the world of international sports. The last time Fiba was held here was in 1978. The 2023 World Cup is slated for Manila, Okinawa and Jakarta, with the group stages to be played in five venues. We can expect this to spur tourism even further and provide added stimulus for businesses as well as investments. We laud the initiative, hard work and commitment of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and Mr. Manny V. Pangilinan in championing the country in securing the coveted games,” ayon kay Andanar.
