Association (PBA), is set to compete in Macau in just a few weeks against some of
the finest and most competitive teams across Asia as one of the participants in

the tournament proper, the five-day long event will include a coaches' clinic
and the FIBA Elite Referees Development Camp which contribute to raising the
standards and professionalism of basketball throughout the region.
