“We are truly honoured and grateful to host the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup in 2027. Bringing one of Asia’s premier basketball events to the Philippines reflects the confidence that FIBA has in our ability to organize world-class competitions and in the passion of Filipino basketball fans,” said SBP President Ricky Vargas.
“The FIBA Women’s Asia Cup 2027 provides a platform for the fans in the Philippines to witness the best of women’s basketball right in their own country and for the global fans to experience the passion for the sport in the Philippines,” said FIBA Asia President Dr. K. Govindaraj.
FIBA added that the tournament aims to showcase elite women’s basketball while highlighting Cebu as the host city.
