The FIBA Intercontinental Cup Singapore 2023 has officially launched with an electrifying start, thanks to Singapore’s Minister for Culture, Community, and Youth, Mr. Edwin Tong. He kicked off the competition in style, throwing down a co-slam dunk alongside Singaporean basketball player Li Si Yi, who’s currently honing his skills with the Eng Tat Hornets.
From September 21 to 24, 2023, the Singapore Indoor Stadium will play host to this four-day basketball extravaganza. Six international teams, including NBA G League Ignite, Zhejiang Golden Bulls, Sesi Franca, Al Ahly, Al Manama, and Telekom Baskets Bonn, will go head-to-head, all vying for the coveted championship trophy.
Basketball aficionados can also catch a high-voltage lunch-time exhibition game between Chinese Taipei’s Hsinchu Lioneers and Singapore’s very own Eng Tat Hornets on 23 September 2023, at 12 pm.
During the event launch, fans had the incredible opportunity to engage in a fireside chat with basketball luminaries such as Norris Cole from Al Ahly, Izan Almansa from NBA G League Ignite, and Wu Qian from the Zhejiang Golden Bulls. Representatives from FIBA, Sport Singapore, and Kallang Alive Sport Management joined the conversation, discussing the rapid growth of basketball and the essential factors driving the sport’s development.
The session highlighted the FIBA Intercontinental Cup as a unique platform for fans to experience high-level basketball showcasing diverse playing styles from around the world. The players shared their deep passion for the sport and their commitment to delivering an exceptional performance for all basketball enthusiasts.
Before the on-court action unfolds, the captains of all six competing teams gathered at Haji Lane, Singapore’s hub of street and community culture. They soaked in the vibrant atmosphere, witnessed Singapore’s unique culture blend, and captured memorable moments in this iconic location.
