PBA to play two games in Bahrain this December
Bahrain will host two Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) games this December as part of the league's 50th season celebrations, with commissioner Willie Marcial and Bahrain Basketball Association president Alaa Mudara making the announcement during a recent PBA game.
The games are scheduled for December 15 and 17 (Philippine time), coinciding with Bahrain's National Day celebration on December 16.
Three teams will travel to Manama, with one team playing back-to-back games; these matches will be televised in the Philippines through RPTV and Cignal.
Mudara expressed excitement about hosting the PBA for Filipino fans who cannot return to the Philippines, noting it would also provide an opportunity during Bahrain's holiday season.
The upcoming games mark the first official visit by the PBA to Manama this year, following their October appearance in Dubai. Marcial added that they are also considering future games in Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Saudi Arabia.
