Venue

The final will be played at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, a city within Metro Manila, Philippines. The arena is one of the five proposed venues of the joint Philippine–Japanese–Indonesian World Cup bid, and was named the Final Phase venue on 28 April 2023. [1] It will host twelve group stage games, four second-round games, four 17–32 classification games, and all final phase games.

The Mall of Asia Arena, owned by SM Lifestyle Entertainment, which is under SM Prime Holdings, was built as part of the master plan for the SM Mall of Asia complex. [3] The arena was designed by architecture firm Arquitectonica, [4] and has a seating capacity of 15,000 but can host as much as 20,000 people in a full-house capacity. [5] Construction began in 2010, [6] and had its topping-off ceremony in September 2011. [7] It hosted its first basketball event, a 2012 PBA Governors Cup semifinals game between the B-Meg Llamados and the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, on 7 July 2012.

The arena is one of the playing venues of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and the country's major collegiate leagues (NCAA, UAAP). It has also hosted the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship, one of the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments for Men, the basketball tournament of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, and several 2019 and 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers games of the Philippines.

The joint bid initially called for the 55,000-seater Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan to host the World Cup's Final Phase, from the quarter-finals to the World Cup Final. The arena previously hosted the 2018 FIBA 3x3 World Cup, three FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers games of the Philippines for 2019 and 2023, and the opening ceremony of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

On 28 April 2023, FIBA announced during its Central Board meeting that the venue would be changed to the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, citing logistical and transport issues, which were experienced in various events at the arena, including various concerts and the sixth and final window of the 2023 World Cup Asian Qualifiers. [1] [8] Instead, the Philippine Arena will now only host the first two games of Group A on 25 August 2023: Angola vs. Italy and Dominican Republic vs. Philippines.
