Clark will be hosting the 2024 eFIBA World Finals, where eight nations will compete in the newly-released NBA 2K25.
The showpiece 2024 eFIBA World Finals are set to take place in the basketball hotbed of the Philippines on December 11 and 12 as the best eight nations globally will compete to become World Champions.
The highly-anticipated conclusion of eFIBA Season 3 will take place in the city of Clark at the SMX Clark Convention Center.

The regional champions of Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North and South America and Oceania will be present, along with the runners-up from Europe.
A total of 40 players will fight it out on the PlayStation 5 with the newly released NBA 2K25 for the eFIBA World Champion crown and a share of the $50,000 prize pool as they look to succeed current holders USA, who took the honors last season in Sweden.

Classification games will also be played. Tip-off times will be made available at a later stage on eFIBA social media channels.
The season finale will also feature local casters, as well as Vince Chang and Chris Simpson. It will also be broadcast on eFIBA’s YouTube and Official Channels, as well as on local channels.
