The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas renews its partnership with Uratex Dream in support of Gilas 3×3 Women. This continued collaboration will lead to the second straight year of representation for the Philippines in the FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe SBP values strong relationships with our partners and we\u2019ve seen just how committed Uratex Dream is in helping our female basketball players,\u201d said Executive Director Erika Dy. \u201cWe produced great results in our first year together so it was natural for us to pursue even more success moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the 2024 season of the FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series, the Philippines finished ranked 18th out of 51 teams from all over the world who competed. Their best finish in a tournament was at the fifth spot in the series\u2019 stop in Wuhan, China.<\/p>\n
The SBP gained more than 20 spots in the women\u2019s 3×3 rankings because of these efforts and all these points are crucial to the Olympic hopes of Gilas 3×3 Women, especially now that the 3×3 entries for 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has been raised from eight to 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank the SBP for once again giving our organization the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the development of women’s basketball in the country,\u201d said Peachy Medina of Uratex Dream.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe excellent results from the past year’s efforts make it clear that we have to run it back. We laud the SBP for their leadership, and we are honored to be a part of this meaningful endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year’s pool will have the likes of Mikka Cacho, Kaye Pingol, Tantoy Ferrer, Lexi Pana, and Sam Harada.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal is to compete as often as possible and score as many points as possible,\u201d added Dy. \u201cIt\u2019s a loaded schedule but we\u2019ve been working hard to help our Gilas 3×3 Women prepare for this series of events. They have been very active both here and abroad and all this experience should be valuable for the 2025 FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SBP\u2019s goal is to surpass the 18th place finish in 2024 and the road there starts in Chengdu, China on May 2 and 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
