Strong Group-Philippines vs. UAE // 2025 William Jones Cup Men’s Tournament
Fresh off clinching back-to-back titles, Strong Group Athletics–Philippines looks to complete a flawless run in the 44th William Jones Cup as they face the winless United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday, July 20, at the Xinzhuang Gymnasium in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
The reigning champions are coming off a dominant 92-68 victory over Bahrain, improving their record to a perfect 7-0 and securing the 2025 championship with one game to spare. Despite having already locked up the title, Strong Group remains focused on finishing strong and achieving a rare 8-0 tournament sweep.
Andre Roberson, the former NBA standout, has been a consistent force for the Philippines, delivering double-doubles and two-way brilliance throughout the tournament. He is expected to lead the charge once again, alongside imports Tajuan Agee, Ian Miller, and a solid local core that includes Javi Gomez de Liaño, Kiefer Ravena, Dave Ildefonso, and Rhenz Abando.
Meanwhile, UAE enters the matchup still searching for its first win, having struggled against the tournament’s powerhouse teams. Facing a red-hot and championship-tested Strong Group squad, the Emiratis will have their hands full as they try to salvage a win in their final outing.
With momentum, confidence, and a deep rotation on their side, Strong Group is heavily favored to finish the job and cement their legacy as one of the most dominant Philippine teams to ever compete in the Jones Cup.
