Philippines men's national wheelchair basketball team

The Philippines men's national wheelchair basketball team is the wheelchair basketball side that represents Philippines in international competitions for men as part of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation.

History

The Philippines has had a national wheelchair basketball team since at least the 2000s. The country's national team, under the auspices of the Philippine Sports Association for the Differently Abled–National Paralympic Committee (PHILSPADA-NPC), competed in the inaugural edition of the ASEAN Wheelchair Basketball Championship in 2003, finishing in second place.

The Philippines has also competed in the ASEAN Para Games on several occasions, winning a silver medal at the 2005 ASEAN Para Games and bronze medals in the 2014 and 2015 editions.

The Wheelchair Basketball Federation of the Philippines was established in 2019 as part of the Philippine Paralympic Committee's plan to create National Para-Sport Associations (NPSAs), the equivalent of the Philippine Olympic Committee's National Sport Associations (NSAs) for able-bodied sports. The national team participated in the Asia-Oceania qualifiers for the 2020 Summer Paralympics in Thailand, using wheelchairs acquired just days before the tournament. They had planned to compete in the 2020 ASEAN Para Games as hosts, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2022 edition, the team earned a silver medal.

In June 2025, the PHILSPADA entered into a partnership with the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), the national sports association for able-bodied basketball. The partnership will last until 2028.
