HONG KONG SAR – Ticket sales began at 12 noon today for the East Asia Super League Final Four, taking place on March 8-10 in Cebu, the Philippines.
The EASL Final Four will be a historic moment for the Filipino resort city, marking several firsts:
1. The biggest international elite sports event ever hosted by Cebu. The Final Four is Cebu’s first major international competition held exclusively for elite professional athletes and teams.
2. The first international professional club basketball competition ever hosted in Cebu.
3. The strongest line-up of elite basketball talent ever seen in Cebu. Cebu is famed in the Philippines for its passion for basketball, but the city has never hosted a tournament of the caliber of the EASL Final Four. An array of elite talent is competing, including: NBA legend Jeremy Lin, of the New Taipei Kings; Japan national team captain Yuki Togashi, of the Chiba Jets; KBL foreign MVP and top scorer Jameel Warney, of the Seoul SK Knights; and exciting new import Robert Carter Jr., of the Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters.
4. The first basketball games played at the newly-renovated Hoops Dome. The EASL Final Four venue in Lapu-Lapu City has had a facelift, with new, FIBA-certified court flooring, new FIBA baskets and supports, and an upgraded jumbotron.
All games will be played at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City.
EASL CEO Henry Kerins said, “We wanted our first Final Four to be something special for the fans and we picked Cebu as the venue on that basis. Everyone knows the passion and the heart for basketball here in the Philippines. Cebu has a huge amount of development going on that is really exciting. It has some of the most beautiful beaches and beautiful culture in Asia. It’s young, it’s hungry and it’s growing, and we’re really excited to be a part of that.”
The EASL Final Four will be contested by the Chiba Jets (B.LEAGUE – Japan), the New Taipei Kings (P. LEAGUE – Chinese Taipei), the Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters (Korean Basketball League), and the Seoul SK Knights. It is the finals of the first full-length EASL season and the Championship Game on Sunday, March 10, will crown East Asia’s professional club basketball champion.
