THERE’S a new league in town and it s starting to make some noise down South. Let s dig deeper from the statements of league COO Rocky Chan.
Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup is the first officially recognized professional basketball league by the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) in the Visayas and Mindanao region which aims to showcase the talent of basketball players from the South, promote sports tourism in both regions, and provide jobs for many citizens badly affected by the pandemic.
The league is composed of teams that will represent a city or province in the Visayas and Mindanao. Currently, there are 12 confirmed teams that signed up for the inaugural season, but the league is expecting the number to reach up to seven teams each from the Visayas and Mindanao as the league is slowly getting the attention of sports stakeholders.
