Smart lights up MOA Ball ahead of FIBA World Cup

With still over a week before the start of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, Smart has transformed the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Ball into a giant basketball with a hoop.

Measuring 1.5 meters in diameter inside a ring with 111 meters in circumference, the attraction is considered one of the most awe-inspiring, larger-than-life basketball tributes the country has ever seen.

A total of 248 workers, including site workers, engineers, safety officers, and designers, among others, put up the massive installation over the last three weeks.

“The MOA Ball spectacle is not only signaling the country’s participation as one of the hosts of this historic event but also as a nation with an unmatched love for the game,” the Smart said.

Smart has also teamed up with its technology partners to further expand and permanently optimize its LTE and 5G mobile network coverage across all FIBA Basketball World Cup venues, including Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, and the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.

“Subscribers trooping to the venues can expect a world-class mobile experience not just during the much-anticipated games from Aug. 25 to Sept. 10, but also in all the biggest concerts and events happening after the tournament,” the telecommunications company said.

“With Smart, subscribers can share their favorite gameplays on social media in real-time, send videos of iconic moments to their loved ones and friends in seconds, and upload all their memorable photos online in an instant,” it added. “Smart is all-out in bringing the best basketball experiences to subscribers and fans.”
