The\u00a0FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series<\/a>\u00a0– the dedicated women\u2019s 3×3 professional circuit – is back, starting with a stop organized by Swiss Basketball in Mies on May 15-16. It will mark the first time a FIBA official competition (3×3 or basketball combined) is organized at FIBA\u2019s Headquarters, which have been\u00a0renamed the Patrick Baumann House of Basketball in 2018<\/a>\u00a0in memory of the\u00a0former FIBA Secretary General and International Olympic Committee member<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Patrick Baumann House of Basketball has been host to several 3×3 events before but organizing a FIBA official competition at home in front of our headquarters, on the same day that Patrick is inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, will definitely have a special meaning to us,\u201d Zagklis added.<\/p>\n

The FIBA Open – the largest 3×3 grassroots event in Switzerland – has been organized at FIBA\u2019s Headquarters since 2015 and will take place on June 19-20 in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to work with Swiss Basketball to bring the FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series back after the great success of the 2019 edition,\u201d FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of FIBA\u2019s three strategic pillars is the\u00a0development of women in basketball<\/a>\u00a0and this competition will help the teams who are preparing everyday to get a chance to be the first women to play 3×3 at the Olympic Games in Tokyo on July 24-28, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

A total of 8 teams will play in Mies: Hungary, Mongolia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain and Switzerland. For the first time, the players will compete for prize money.<\/p>\n

Swiss Basketball rejoiced the opportunity to organize a FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series event only two weeks before the FIBA 3×3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Graz, Austria on May 26-30.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor for Swiss Basketball to be able to organize the first stop of the FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series 2021,\u201d Swiss Basketball President Giancarlo Sergi said. \u201cAfter a year like that, we are happy to be able to collaborate with FIBA again on an international event of this importance. It will be key for all the competing teams and especially for Switzerland considering it is the ultimate big test before the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Graz.\u201d<\/p>\n

More FIBA 3×3 Women\u2019s Series events will be announced at a later stage.<\/p>\n

###<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exciting, urban and innovative, 3×3 is inspired by several forms of streetball played worldwide and is considered the world\u2019s number one urban team sport. Steered by FIBA, games see two teams of three players face off on a basketball half-court.<\/p>\n

It was played successfully for the first time in international competition at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and since then has benefited from the launch of a yearly city-based FIBA 3×3 World Tour and national-team FIBA 3×3 World & Continental Cups.<\/p>\n

On 9 June 2017, 3×3 was added to the Olympic Program, starting from the Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n

Wilson is the Global Ball and Apparel Partner and Tissot the Official Timekeeper of FIBA 3×3.<\/p>\n

FIBA 3×3 events are played on Enlio floors with Wilson balls, Schelde backstops, and the Magic Sky canopy system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
