Gilas Pilipinas will play its only match of the upcoming 2021 FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers window after the world governing body ordered Indonesia to hold its two home matches despite the threat of the coronavirus disease.

A FIBA letter that surfaced online said that it “determined that there exist no exceptional circumstances warranting the postponement of the Games” despite the instruction of Indonesia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports to delay the aforementioned matches.

Indonesia is scheduled to host South Korea on Thursday and Gilas on Sunday at the Mahaka Stadium in the Northern Jakarta district of Kelapa Gading.

FIBA’s decision should leave no reason for Gilas to worry since the possibility of having no games until further notice may put preparation at a halt.
