“We are thrilled to be working alongside the PBA and will have some exciting news soon regarding the player selection process for both teams.

“The Weber Cup has always had a loyal fanbase in Europe and we hope that many of those supporters will join us in Vegas, and be joined by a raft of US fans who will finally be able to see this great event in American.”
