WKBL will hold the 2023 Woori Bank Park Shin-ja Cup at Cheongju Gymnasium from August 26 to September 3.
WKBL said, "The participating teams will be 10 teams, the most ever. In addition to six WKBL clubs, four overseas invited teams, including Japan, Australia and the Philippines, were included. "The largest number of overseas teams will also participate since the establishment of the Park Shin-ja Cup in 2015," he said.
Specifically, WKBL said, "Eneos Sunflower, who has won the Japanese W League for 11 consecutive years, and Toyota Antelopes, the runner-up in the regular league and championship games last season, will represent Japan, while Bendigo Spirit, a member of the Australian WNBL, will also visit Korea. In addition, the Philippine women's national basketball team, which faced Korea at the Asian Cup in June, also confirmed its participation in the Park Shin-ja Cup. The name and emblem of the competition have also been changed. The name will be changed from the existing "Park Shin-ja Cup Summer League" to "Park Shin-ja Cup," and it will be held in the form of an international competition in which a large number of key players from each team participate in the competition to find promising players. Each team will be divided into two groups to play in the preliminary round, and the first and second place in each group will advance to the semifinals. The prize money has also increased from 10 million won to 30 million won. Admission to this competition is possible through separate ticket reservations, and all reserved seats are available.
