Talents and the warmest welcome from Dipolognons greeted the basketball athletes of the Pilipinas Super League in its opening game at Dipolog City Sports Complex on March 18, 2022.

​

Different dance troops, bands and groups performed in the opening ceremony, meeting the 7 competing teams coming from different places in the country.

​

Mayor Darel Dexter T. Uy delivered his message during the said event.

​

“We will continue hosting sports activities, the safest way possible by following new normal protocols,” Uy said.

​

Before the official announcement of the host towns on February 15, the league officials considered Pagadian City and Cagayan de Oro City as potential hosts, however, they ended up choosing Dipolog City and the municipality of President Manuel Roxas.

​

The PSL is the newest regional basketball league in the country organized by the same people behind the successful Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup that already held two conferences last year.

​

PSL eyes to become a league that showcases young aspiring cagers, particularly, 21 years old below to provide them their much-deserved exposure in the mainstream basketball scene. 

​

The league’s inaugural conference is planned to be a month-long tournament which follows a single-round robin elimination format with eight teams advancing to the knockout stage.

In addition, the league mainly focuses on showcasing local or homegrown talents by following their unique format on the five on the floor.

​

Each team should field in two pro players, two regional players, and one homegrown player in the entire duration of the game.
