Gilas Pilipinas has a chance to qualify for the Paris Olympics, but it will not be easy. According to the FIBA World Cup ranking, Gilas Pilipinas finished 24th out of the 32 teams and secured one of the 19 Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) berths⁵. The OQT will be a more difficult competition since Gilas Pilipinas will face other teams from different continents, including Europe, Africa, and the Americas⁴⁵.

The OQT will have 24 teams divided into four groups, with the winners of each group advancing to the Paris Olympics⁵. The other teams that will join Gilas Pilipinas in the OQT are Finland, New Zealand, Lebanon, Mexico, Angola, Cameroon, Bahamas, Bahrain, Poland, and Croatia⁴⁵. The remaining eight teams will be determined by the final ranking of the World Cup.

Gilas Pilipinas will need to play their best basketball and hope for some luck in the draw to make it to the Paris Olympics. It will be a tough challenge, but not impossible. Gilas Pilipinas has shown that they can compete with some of the best teams in the world, and they have the talent and heart to make their country proud. I wish them all the best in their quest for Olympic glory.
