MANILA--World-class basketball is again within reach as the FIBA Asia Cup 2022 is presented to Smart subscribers live via the Smart GigaPlay App starting July 12.

Support the men’s national basketball team as they play for flag and country in the group stage to be held in Jakarta, Indonesia. Gilas will take on Lebanon on July 13 at 9 p.m., India on July 15 at 4 p.m., and New Zealand on July 17 at 9 p.m. Smart will broadcast these and more in real-time from July 12 to 24, enabling basketball fans with even more opportunities to rally behind Gilas should the team advance to the next rounds.

All the Gilas hardcourt action is within reach by every Filipino fan on the GigaPlay App, powered by Smart’s fastest mobile network,” said Francis E.
