"This is the first time I will be playing in Qatar," Marlo Aquino, one of the players said upon exiting the arrival lounge to meet some of the organisers and Filipino fans waiting to welcome the team.
"All the 14 members of the team are here including the new MVP Kelly Williams and Rookie of the Year Ryan Reyes," Carido said. Recently declared 2008 Smart PBA-All Philippine Cup champions, Sta Lucia Realtors will be pitted against the Qatar National Team in two friendly games scheduled today and tomorrow at the Al Gharrafa Sports Club.
"This is the first time for the Sta Lucia Realtors to play in Qatar, but not the first for Qatar Basketball Federation (QBF) to invite prominent teams from the Philippines. Last year we invited the Red Bull team," said Rhea Navarro, of QBF. Games start at 5pm today with the commercial game between UPC All Stars and NBK All Stars. It will be followed by a match between visiting Sta Lucia Realtors and the Qatar National Team at 7pm.
