Gilas Pilipinas vs. South Korea // 2025 FIBA Women’s Asia Cup

The Gilas Pilipinas Women aim to make history as they battle South Korea in a high-stakes matchup at the 2025 FIBA Women’s Asia Cup this Friday, July 18, at the Shenzhen Sports Center in China.

Fresh off a hard-fought 73-70 win over Lebanon, the Philippines clinched third place in Group B with a 1-2 record, earning a spot in the qualification round to the semifinals and securing their first-ever berth in the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament.

Now, the Filipinas are eyeing an even bigger milestone: a historic semifinal appearance in Asia’s premier women’s basketball tournament.

Standing in their way is a familiar and formidable rival. South Korea, ranked 13th in the world, enters the contest after finishing second in Group A with a 2-1 record. The Koreans have been a recurring obstacle for Gilas, dealing painful defeats in recent tournaments, including the 2023 FIBA Asia Cup, the Hangzhou Asian Games, and the 2025 William Jones Cup.

For Gilas, a breakthrough will require another inspired team effort. Jack Animam, who delivered a dominant double-double against Lebanon and earned Player of the Game honors, is expected to lead the charge once again. She will be backed by the trio of Naomi Panganiban, Vanessa De Jesus, and Sumayah Sugapong, who were all instrumental in the Lebanon win.

As the Gilas Women prepare to face their long-time tormentors, they do so with renewed confidence and a chance to etch their names in Philippine basketball history.
