FIBA 3X3 WOMEN
Created in 2019, the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series is the number one event on the 3×3 women’s professional circuit. An exciting, urban and innovative sport, 3×3 is inspired by several forms of streetball played worldwide and is considered the most thrilling urban sport.
Steered by FIBA, games see two teams of three players face off on a basketball half-court. 3×3 made its Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
