Gilas Pilipinas makes short stopover in Dubai before heading to Spain

A few hours prior to their arrival in Spain, the Gilas Pilipinas Team made a short stopover in Dubai.

The eleven-man team had the chance to have a little snack at a fast food chain located inside Dubai’s airport.

All of them were busy holding their phones and relaxing before their tune-up game in Spain.

The team left Manila early Sunday morning for a seven-hour flight to Spain, where they will undergo an eight-day camp.

At past 3 p.m. on the same day, they arrived in Spain.

Although there are 11 players who joined the trip, Kiefer Ravena is not allowed to play friendly games because of his FIBA suspension, according to a report by ABS-CBN News.

After their tune-up games, they will compete in a pocket tournament in Malaga.
