Manila, Philippines - January 26th, 2026 - The Fil-Chinese Alumni Basketball League (FCABL) is poised for a landmark second season, signaling a significant expansion and deepening connection within the Fil-Chinese community. With tip-off scheduled for February 14th, 2026, the league is rapidly establishing itself as a premier platform for former players from various Fil-Chinese schools to reconnect, compete, and celebrate their shared heritage.

The inaugural season of the FCABL demonstrated a clear appetite for competitive basketball rooted in Fil-Chinese tradition. This year, that appetite is being met with a substantial increase in scale and participation. What began as a promising initiative has blossomed into a thriving league, now boasting 14 teams divided into two divisions - Group A and Group B - a considerable leap from the previous year. This growth reflects the expanding interest and commitment to preserving the unique history and legacy of Fil-Chinese basketball.

"We're very excited about this season," stated FCABL Commissioner Bobby Goco. "We've seen tremendous growth and interest in the league, and we're committed to providing a top-notch experience for our players and fans." Goco's statement highlights the league's dedication to fostering a positive and engaging environment for both participants and spectators, reinforcing its role as more than just a basketball league, but a vital community hub.

A League Built on Heritage and Reconnection

The FCABL's purpose extends beyond simply providing competitive games. At its core, the league serves as a bridge, reconnecting former classmates and teammates who shared formative experiences on the basketball court within the context of Fil-Chinese education. This element of nostalgia and shared history is a significant draw for many alumni, offering a chance to relive cherished memories and forge new connections.

Preserving the history of Fil-Chinese basketball is another critical objective. This unique sporting tradition, often intertwined with the cultural identity of many Filipino-Chinese families, has historically been a source of pride and community spirit. The FCABL provides a platform to showcase the skills, athleticism, and camaraderie that have defined this legacy for generations, ensuring its continuation and appreciation amongst younger members of the community.

Meet the Teams - A Diverse Field of Contenders

The upcoming season promises exciting matchups across both Group A and Group B. Here's a look at the teams vying for the championship:

Group A: Chiayi Alumni Dasmarinas Alumni Hsinchu Alumni Kaohsiung Alumni La Union Alumni Makati Alumni

Group B: Manila Alumni Pasay Alumni Quezon Alumni Taoyuan Alumni Tainan Alumni Valenzuela Alumni * Xiamen Alumni

The diverse representation of alumni from various regions underscores the league's widespread appeal and the geographic dispersion of the Fil-Chinese community.

Looking Ahead

While details regarding the full season schedule, game locations, and playoff format are still forthcoming, the FCABL encourages fans and alumni alike to stay connected through the league's social media channels for the latest updates. The momentum behind the FCABL suggests a bright future, with the potential for further expansion and the continued strengthening of bonds within the Fil-Chinese community through the power of basketball. The second season promises to be a showcase of skill, tradition, and a renewed sense of community pride.
