Updated MON · MAY 1, 2023 · 5:10 PM

Gilas Pilipinas aims to qualify for the Paris Olympics by becoming the best-placed Asian team in the FIBA World Cup.

The team is grouped with Italy (ranked No. 10), Dominican Republic (No. 23), and Angola (No. 41) in Group A, which coach Chot Reyes described as not ideal but manageable.

Reyes plans to model the training camp after the successful 2014 World Cup buildup and is looking for quality tune-up matches overseas.

Gilas Pilipinas faces familiar opponents from previous tournaments and aims to perform better than their last outing in China.
