The Zamboanga Valientes are preparing for two international tournaments next year following their successful run in the inaugural edition of The Asian Tournament.
With international invites pouring in, the team is set to announce the tournaments they will join soon.
In the meantime, the Valientes are already in the early stages of preparation for one of their major upcoming competitions.
“Our performance in The Asian Tournament showcased the talent and determination of Zamboangueños. I believe we are more than ready to take on more international tournaments in the coming year, and we are excited to share those plans with you all very soon,” said Zamboanga Valientes owner Junnie Navarro in a statement.
After narrowly missing out in the early stages of The Asian Tournament, the Zamboanga Valientes delivered when it mattered most by clinching the Grand Finals title with a decisive victory over the Macau Black Bears in front of their home fans last August.
Led by four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, who missed a few games due to a minor injury, the team achieved a flawless 5-0 sweep in the final leg, including wins over the Naic Aces and Vanta Black Dragons.
The Zamboanga Valientes, which also won the Hong Kong Sketch World Cup earlier this year, will carry that momentum into the new year as they prepare for their upcoming international stints.
“Zamboanga City is truly the home of champions. From Hidilyn Diaz in weightlifting, Chezka Centeno in billiards, Eumir Marcial in boxing, and Mark Barroca in basketball, to the rising stars of the Zamboanga Valientes, our city continues to produce world-class athletes who inspire greatness across all sports,” said Navarro.
“That is why the Zamboanga Valientes, with the support of the Dalipe administration, are committed to helping more athletes from Zamboanga City reach their full potential. Arriba Zamboanga! Viva Valientes!” he added, thanking Majority Leader Cong. Mannix Dalipe, Zamboanga Mayor John Dalipe, and Col. Ariel Querubin for their all-out support.
