The best 3×3 national teams in the Americas will get a chance to compete for continental supremacy when they meet for the first AmeriCup in 3×3 history in Miami scheduled November 12-14, 2021.<\/p>\n
The event will be conducted in partnership with Vaunt Inc. (Vaunt), a sports and entertainment intellectual property (IP) development company that creates and produces alternative competitions and culturally-relevant content. \u00a0This historic moment marks FIBA 3×3\u2019s return to Miami nine years after the city hosted the final of the first-ever FIBA 3×3 World Tour and commences Vaunt\u2019s multi-year relationship as the Local Organizing Committee with FIBA for the exclusive rights to the 3×3 AmeriCup in the Americas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup will be a great enabler for us to accelerate growth of the game across our zone,\u201d FIBA Americas Executive Director Carlos Alves said. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring the AmeriCup 3×3 to Miami, not only because Miami is where we have our regional head office, but more importantly, the city encompasses all the main traits of our game: urban, iconic, vibrant, international and multi-cultural.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI became a part of the FIBA family in 2001 through my experience playing with USA Basketball,\u201d Vaunt CEO Roger Mason Jr said. \u201cNow as the co-founder of Vaunt whose goal is to align opportunities at the intersections of sport, technology, content and competition, my basketball journey has come full circle with this groundbreaking partnership. As a former Miami Heat player, I am excited about bringing the Americup to Miami and the impact we will make for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
The participating teams will be announced at a later stage. As it is the case for every FIBA 3×3 national team official competition, the event will feature the same number of men and women\u2019s teams, who will play alternatively on the same court in front of the same fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
