Three key elements make up the 2023 FIBA World Cup logo: a heart, a trophy, and the No. 23

FIBA incorporated Gilas Pilipinas’ trademark “puso” battle cry in its logo for the next World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia in 2023.

Three key elements make up the logo: a heart, a trophy, and the No. 23.

FIBA said the heart symbolizes the passion for basketball, the trophy represents the coveted Naismith Trophy, and the No. 23 represents the year when the World Cup will be staged.

“We Filipinos are all proud to be a part of this important milestone in basketball, together with Japan and Indonesia,” said Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas chairman emeritus Manny Pangilinan in a statement.

FIBA also launched the #DontMissABeat campaign, releasing 3 different beats for the host countries.

Eighty national teams vie for the 32 World Cup spots, with the qualification phase beginning in November 2021 and ending in February 2023. – Rappler.com
