Go For Gold Philippines is a sports foundation and sponsorship program of the Powerball Marketing and Logistics Corp., supporting Filipino athletes and teams competing in various sports.[1][2][3] It organizes the Go for Gold Philippines UCI Continental road cycling team.[4]

Go For Gold Philippines began with cycling. In 2016, the Powerball Marketing and Logistics Corporation, led by executive Jeremy Randell Go, decided to form a cycling team under the Go For Gold name. Since then, Go For Gold has branched out to support other sports, such as triathlon, sepak takraw, dragon boat racing, and skateboarding.[5]

In 2019, FIBA made a promotional partnership agreement with Go For Gold to promote the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, which was hosted in China, and in the Philippines.[6]
