Finland faces Germany in the FIBA Basketball World Cup on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 (8/29/23) at Okinawa Arena in Okinawa, Japan.
MANILA, Philippines — On Day 1 of the Basketball World Cup, the Philippines made history.
But the Dominican Republic spoiled the party for the home fans: Karl-Anthony Towns scored 26 points, leading his team to a 87-81 win in a Group A matchup. Jordan Clarkson scored 28 for the Philippines before fouling out in the final moments. “We all knew the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 was going to be special and within the first day we already have evidence of this, having witnessed this historic moment,” tournament chairman Richard Carrion said.
Philippine Arena was originally slated to host the final phase of the World Cup, including the medal games. But FIBA changed that plan earlier this year, citing traffic and transport concerns. The arena, which can hold as many as 55,000 fans for some events, is at least an hour by car — maybe much more depending on traffic — from most of the other Manila venues being used during the tournament.
