As the official outfitter for the UP Fighting Maroons and FEU Tamaraws, PUMA is making a significant move into UAAP Season 88. By providing cutting-edge gear designed for the speed and stamina of college basketball, the brand aims to help athletes perform at their peak. This partnership goes beyond just apparel; it’s about connecting on-court performance with the passion of collegiate sports culture that brings players and fans together.

Building on the Future of Filipino Basketball

PUMA is positioning itself as a key cultural partner in Philippine collegiate basketball by celebrating the talent of the UAAP’s top rising stars. The brand’s Hoops Squad features a dynamic roster of players, including:

• Chicco Briones (UP): A standout player who helped the UP Fighting Maroons win the 18th FilOil Preseason Cup.
• Kirby Mongcopa & Mo Konateh (FEU): Mongcopa is making his return from a long-term injury, while Konateh was recognized as one of the league’s top players last season.
• Austin and Cade Ronzone (Adamson): These twin brothers are set to bring a new level of energy to the court.

PUMA’s commitment to Filipino basketball is further showcased by the rest of the Hoops Squad lineup. The roster includes a diverse mix of talent from across the league:

• Gani Steves (UP) provides key defense and resilience.
• The duo of Ice Danting and Michael Mara (UST) brings the heart and hustle of the Growling Tigers.
• Michael Asoro and Divine Adili (Ateneo) highlight the Blue Eagles’ blend of speed and strength.
• Precious Momowei (UE) stands tall as a formidable presence for the Red Warriors.
• Rounding out the squad are Lenard Santiago and Jolo Manansala (NU), two promising players for the Bulldogs.

This initiative is part of PUMA’s ongoing effort to empower local athletes and inspire the broader basketball community, supporting a future where strong performances on the court motivate both players and fans.

Connecting Athletes and Fans Through Basketball Culture

PUMA’s support does not stop at the sidelines, it extends to the fans who bring the game to life. With PUMA’s exclusive upcoming fanwear for UP and FEU, fans can look forward to fresh ways to rep their school spirit and celebrate basketball culture wherever they go.
