THE Philippines is nearly a hundred percent ready to stage of the 2023 FIBA World Cup for Basketball.

Officials involved in the Joint Management Committee of the FIBA World Cup Local Organizing Committee said this on Wednesday following an interagency meeting with the Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richard Bachmann at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila.

FIBAWC Chief Implementor Ramon “Tats” Suzara said they are 98 percent ready for the games, which will be hosted by multiple nations for the first time in its history.

“The two percent are the finishing touches. And these are about the tables and chairs and displays inside the venues. The venue staff at the Araneta Coliseum, MOA Arena and the Philippine Arena are ready,” said Suzara.
