History was written in Manila for the first match of the Philippine basketball team in this World Cup once morest the Dominican Republic. 38,115 spectators were present in the Philippine Arena.
For the summary of the match, it’s HERE!
This is quite simply a record in the history of the World Cup. In an arena that can accommodate 55,000 people, 38,115 came to see the exploits of Karl-Anthony Towns under the panels, but above all the incredible shots of local star Jordan Clarkson who had a field day shooting on sight. The previous record dates back to… 1994 for the final between Team USA and Russia, which mustered 32,616 headers to see the Americans destroy their opponents 137-91 at the Skydome in Toronto. This new record was accompanied by a fiery atmosphere in the Philippines, a real basketball country. The fans pushed their team, playing their sixth man role brilliantly, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough as the Filipinos were set to lose 87-81 to the Dominicans in this Group A opener. of “their” World Cup, during which they will wish to exceed expectations.
Mashed 38,000 FANS present at the Philippine Arena today, it’s crazy.
