Gilas Youth faces Bahrain in KO match for quarterfinals berth
Gilas Pilipinas Youth will face Bahrain in a knockout game on Thursday for a quarterfinals berth in the 2025 FIBA U16 Asia Cup.
The Nationals, mentored by LA Tenorio, finished third in Group B with a 1-2 record after losses to Chinese Taipei and New Zealand, with their lone win against Indonesia.
Bahrain, ranked No. 94 globally, secured second place in Group A with a 2-1 slate.
A win against Bahrain will set up a quarterfinals match against powerhouse China, the undefeated Group A leader and reigning bronze medalist.
Gilas Youth aims to replicate their 2023 Final Four finish, where they also navigated a tougher qualification path by defeating South Korea and Japan in knockout games to qualify for the FIBA U17 World Cup.
