SMART and TNT subscribers have the full homecourt advantage this year with this month’s International Basketball Federation (FIBA) World Cup and other events expected to excite fans this month.
To further gear up and engage sports fans, Smart held a Smart Sports Invitational Golf Cup on April 20 at the Orchard Golf and Country Club in Cavite to encourage the media and sports community to be unified in hosting the FIBA World Cup (FIBAWC) 2023.
