THE Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas proudly announced the designation of Erika Dy as the federation’s Executive Director.
After proving to be an effective leader during her role as the Deputy Event Director of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, Dy will now oversee the strategic planning of the SBP and lead the implementation of its programs, which will be in line with FIBA’s continued push to grow the sport of basketball in the country.
“We’re very excited to work with Erika as she brings new energy into the federation,” said SBP President Al Panlilio. “We worked closely with her during the FIBA Basketball World Cup and saw up close what she brought to the table. With her experience as a basketball player, a coach, a sports advocate, and one of the primary implementers of the World Cup, we know she is capable of broadening the imprint of the SBP.”
Before working with the SBP, Dy had stints with the UAAP as the Licensing Committee Chair and Managing Director and with Ateneo as the Assistant Athletic Director and Head Coach of the Women’s Basketball Team.
Dy holds a Master’s Degree in Sports Management from Columbia University and is also a California-licensed attorney. Because of these proficiencies and her deep experience in basketball, she was named by FIBA as the Legal Commission Chairwoman last October.
