The event will honor not only the top athletes but also take into account a century of great athletic legacy as the country marks an unforgettable 2024.
2024 would be recognized in Philippine sports as a tipping point. Leading front stage in the achievements of the country, Carlos Yulo, whose double gold medal victory in gymnastics at the 33rd Olympic Games in Paris was a historic first for the nation, His successes draw attention to the Philippines’ worldwide sporting scene’s growth, exactly one hundred years after the nation’s Summer Olympics debut.
These gold medals were not the highlight of the Paris Games. The boxing tradition of the country shone magnificently with Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas delivering bronze medals stressing the depth of Filipino talent. Inspired countless fans all across, these athletes together displayed the resiliency, skill, and will that define Philippine sports.
Beyond the Olympics, Filipino athletes achieved history by surpassing personal bests in other global contests and shattering new records. 2024 proved proof of the unrelenting spirit of Filipino athletes whether in grassroots events, world championships, or regional tournaments.
The PSA Awards Night will honor those who cleared the route as well as the current generation of athletes. The occasion will revolve mostly on the induction of a new sports star into the PSA Hall of Fame.

For their contributions to Philippine sports history, these erstwhile rivals will be honored. Their eras of life were different. Their achievements motivate modern sportsmen to reach higher, therefore linking the past and the present.
The future of Philippine sports will also take front stage as the PSA celebrates young athletes through the Tony Siddayao Awards and Milo Awards. These awards pay tribute to the upcoming generation of sportsmen who have displayed exceptional talent and dedication. Celebrating these young athletes helps the PSA underline the need of building the athletic future of the country.
The event will also commemorate the sometimes overlooked sports development players: coaches, trainers, associations, businesses working tirelessly behind the scenes. References to these unsung individuals highlight the team work required to achieve success on a global scene.
Customary honors like the Athlete of the Year, Executive of the Year, and National Sports Association (NSA) of the Year will underline the need of vision, leadership, and team building in developing a robust sports ecosystem.
Along with honoring national achievements, the PSA Awards Night will pay tribute to sportsmen who passed away in 2024.
