The 2022 FilBasket International Championship, also known as the 2022 Sportsclick FilBasket International Championship – Malaysia for sponsorship reasons, was the third tournament of the Philippine-based FilBasket league, the second tournament of 2022, and the last tournament prior to the league's renaming as AsiaBasket.
The tournament was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,[2][3] and was organized in coordination with the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and the Malaysia Basketball Association.[4]
After inviting Kuala Lumpur Aseel as a guest team in the previous tournament, this tournament marked the league's further expansion into the Southeast Asia region, with seven of the ten teams being from outside the Philippines.
The Malaysia national team, playing as "Harimau Malaysia", clinched the title by beating fellow Malaysian team Kuala Lumpur Aseel in the final.[1] It was the first time the two finalists are based outside the Philippines.
