Of great concern at major sporting events is the level of security for all participants, be they the athletes, the fans, or any other stakeholder contributing to make the event a success. The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 is the apex of basketball tournaments, and co-host the Philippines considers its security measures of primary importance, to ensure the smooth, trouble-free execution of the games from August 25 to September 10.
With opening day fast approaching, BGen Henry G. Sabarre AFP , Head of Safety and Security of the Philippines Local Organizing Committee for the FIBAWC, emphasized that at this point, all safety and security measures are well in place. The group is merely awaiting the dates of execution of all its plans.
Most of the personnel in the LOC Safety & Security team have prior experience at major sporting events previously held in the country. As such, there was really nothing new or innovative installed for the FIBAWC, but just “good ole fashioned physical security preparations, as well as selecting the right people for the job.” For Sabarre, it is all the matter of empowering subordinate managers by providing them the authority, pertinent information, and effective leadership to get it done.
