Gilas Pilipinas hosted Iran in the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers Group E on August 30 at Mall of Asia Arena, riding momentum from an 82-81 overtime victory over Jordan while Iran entered off a narrow overtime loss to New Zealand. The Philippines leaned on home-court energy, a deep frontcourt featuring Kai Sotto’s rebounding and rim protection alongside AJ Edu, and perimeter scoring from Dwight Ramos and Juan Gomez de Liaño to overcome an early deficit and secure a 68-56 win—their first FIBA victory over Iran in over a decade. Iran’s rotation, including limited production from Mohammad Amini, struggled to match the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter. With only the top three teams advancing automatically, the result tightened the standings race and highlighted how recent form, interior dominance, and home support shaped pre-game trader consensus around the matchup.
