MANILA Chooks TM won t be making the trip to Croatia after all.
The Filipino club made the tough decision to pull out from the 2021 Fiba 3x3 World Tour Lipik Challenger, failing to secure the players visas on time.
With no Croatian embassy in the Philippines, the players visa had to be applied thorugh the Jakarta embassy. Team management submitted the requirements on May but on Thursday have yet to receive the visas.
Chico Lanete, Mac Tallo, Zach Huang, and Dennis Santos won t be seeing action in the event, set this weekend, forcing the organizers to scamper for a replacement team.
