Smart Communications, Inc. is set to stream the 19th Asian Games on its Smart LiveStream App, the same platform that brought the popular FIBA Basketball World Cup to Filipino fans.
Taking place in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to October 8, the Asian Games will hold a total of 481 sports events, with the Philippines set to send 395 national athletes across various sports events including basketball (5-on-5 and 3-on-3), badminton, baseball, football, jiu-jitsu, karate, tennis, volleyball, and more.
With the Smart LiveStream App, Smart subscribers and sports fans can witness notable Filipino athletes give their best for the flag and country.
These include Gilas Pilipinas, the country’s men’s national basketball team, who is now under the esteemed leadership of Philippine Basketball Association coach Tim Cone; Hidilyn Diaz for weightlifting; EJ Obiena for pole vaulting; Gilas Women’s Team for women’s basketball; Team SIBOL for esports; Carlo Paalam, Eumir Marcial, Nesthy Petecio, and Irish Magno for boxing; and The Filipinas for women’s football.
The Hangzhou Asian Games harps on the theme “Asian community with shared future” underscored via the official theme song “The Love We Share” written by Chinese composer Zhang Yijiang with lyrics by Han Bing.
