Uratex Dream Becomes First Filipino Team to Reach the Final at the Red Bull Half Court World Final in New York

Uratex Dream proudly makes a mark on the global stage as the first Filipino team, and the only Southeast Asian team, to reach the final stage for the women’s division at the Red Bull Half Court World Final, held last October 19 and 20 at the Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York. This momentous achievement heralds a remarkable milestone for the basketball-loving nation in the world of competitive streetball.


The team scored victories against some of the world’s best including Australia’s “Not Fast But Furious,” the United States’ “Team SLAM,” Egypt’s “Amigos,” Ukraine’s “Prykarppattya,” and Belgium’s “On Fire.” Kaye Pingol, Afril Bernardino, Sam Harada, and Eunique Chan of Uratex Dream went up against Japan’s “Tokyo Verdy” in the final round of the competition. Ultimately, the Filipino team lost with a score of 8 against Japan’s 11.


Uratex Dream’s second place finish is a huge leap from their performance at last year’s Red Bull Half Court World Final in Serbia where their journey peaked and ended in the quarterfinal. Fans should keep an eye out as the Philippines continues to build momentum in the global streetball competition. Catch the next edition of the Red Bull Half Court.
