BORDEAUX (France) – The race for the FIBA 3×3 World Tour continues to intensify as the FIBA 3×3 Bordeaux Challenger 2026 brings some of the biggest names in the Pro Circuit to the Placette de Munich on August 21-22, with three coveted tickets to FIBA 3×3 World Tour Deqing 2026 on the line. As the 19th Challenger of the season, Bordeaux offers another major opportunity for teams to turn Challenger success into a place on China’s very own “3×3 city.”

Heavyweights aplenty

The field features an impressive collection of teams from the top end of the FIBA 3×3 World Tour 2026 standings, setting up a fierce battle for the title and qualification.

Ub (SRB), currently first overall, headline the tournament alongside No. 2 Liman (SRB) and No. 5 Skyliners (GER). All three have established themselves among the most dangerous teams on the FIBA 3×3 World Tour this season and arrive in Bordeaux with serious title ambitions.

Skyliners, in particular, are hoping for daylight after crashing out of the recent Singapore Challenger in pool play.

Antwerp (BEL), ranked sixth overall, add another proven contender, while Toulouse (FRA) will look to build on their recent Challenger triumph in Singapore. The French side currently sit 13th overall in the FIBA 3×3 World Tour standings and will have the added motivation of playing on home soil.

Fuengirola (ESP), Barcelona (ESP) and hosts Bordeaux (FRA) complete a strong group of teams inside the world’s top 25.

With only three World Tour spots available, the depth of the field means qualification will be anything but straightforward. Ub, though, have already qualified for WT Deqing via the SBA PRO TOUR 2026 in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Star power across the court

The FIBA 3×3 WT Bordeaux 2026 will also feature a collection of established 3×3 basketball stars capable of changing a game in an instant.

Ub will be led by “Doctor Strange” Strahinja Stojacic, one of the most recognizable players in the discipline, while Liman will rely on the production of “The Gladiator” Stefan Milivojevic. Stefan “Chef Koja” Kojic brings experience and scoring punch to a dangerous Skyliners team.

Antwerp’s Jonas Foerts adds another proven international presence, while Toulouse will have French standout Franck Seguela looking to lead the home side to another major Challenger run.

There will be plenty more talent to watch, including Fuengirola’s Diego de Blas, Barcelona’s Nil Bria and Bordeaux’s Alex Vialaret.

BORDEAUX (France) – Neftchi SOCAR (AZE) will enter the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series Bordeaux 2026 as the top seed, but they will face a deep international field with Amsterdam (NED), Rapid Bucharest (ROU), France (FRA) and Beijing (CHN) also among the leading contenders. With 16 teams set to battle it out, Bordeaux is ready to host another high-level stop on the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series calendar.

Neftchi SOCAR have plenty of motivation heading into Bordeaux. The Azerbaijanis last lifted a Women’s Series trophy at WS Marseille and have since endured a difficult stretch, failing to make it past the Quarter-Finals at their last three stops. Alexandra Mollenhauer & Co. will be determined to rediscover their winning form and make the most of their position as the No. 1 seed.

Full Seedings List

1. Neftchi SOCAR (AZE)
2. Amsterdam (NED)
3. Rapid Bucharest (ROU)
4. France (FRA)
5. Beijing (CHN)
6. Spain (ESP)
7. France U25 (FRA)
8. Chile (CHI)

10. United States (USA)

12. Ireland (IRL)
13. Ukraine (UKR)
14. Paraguay (PAR)
15. Egypt (EGY)
16. Sweden (SWE)

Pools

Qualifying Draw A: Czechia (CZE), Paraguay (PAR), Egypt (EGY)
Qualifying Draw B: Ireland (IRL), Ukraine (UKR), Sweden (SWE)

Main Draw

Pool A: Neftchi SOCAR (AZE), Chile (CHI), Italy (ITA)
Pool B: Amsterdam (NED), France (FRA), United States (USA)
Pool C: Rapid Bucharest (ROU), Spain (ESP), QD A
Pool D: France U25 (FRA), Beijing (CHN), QD B

Players to Watch

Of course, Mollenhauer will once again be at the heart of Neftchi SOCAR’s campaign. The Azerbaijan star regained her No. 1 ranking (based on total player value) on the Women’s Series circuit and will be looking to turn that individual quality into another deep run for her team. With Neftchi SOCAR chasing their first stop victory since Marseille, Mollenhauer will be central to their hopes of returning to the top of the podium.

Amsterdam will arrive as the No. 2 seed with plenty of momentum behind the Dutch program. Liselot Kulk and Co. will be eager to add an Amsterdam title to a memorable recent stretch for the Netherlands, which saw the Netherlands U25 (NED) and Netherlands (NED) teams both claim Women’s Series victories over the past weekend. Kulk will now look to lead Amsterdam to their first stop win of the season.

Rapid Bucharest are seeded third and have one of the circuit’s biggest threats in Hortense Limouzin. The French star has guided Rapid to two Women’s Series stop victories in their last three appearances and currently ranks No. 2 in the Women’s Series in total player value. With Limouzin in top form, Rapid will be one of the teams to beat in Bordeaux.

France take the No. 4 seed and will have home support behind them as they chase a breakthrough. Marie Mané has been a driving force for the French throughout the season, but the team are still searching for their first Women’s Series stop victory of 2026. With home fans surely cheering Mané and her teammates, Bordeaux could provide the perfect setting for the French to finally turn strong performances into a title.

Beijing are seeded fifth and continue to establish themselves among the leading teams on the circuit. Zhang ZhiTing has been a major reason for their position among the top three teams in the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series standings, with her scoring, size and presence around the basket giving Beijing a difficult matchup for any opponent. The Chinese side will now look to turn their consistency into their first stop win of the season.

Spain will also be one to watch closely as they welcome back Gracia Alonso de Armiño to the active roster. De Armiño led Spain to their only Women’s Series stop victory of the season at WS Bucharest, but that breakthrough came more than a month ago. Her return gives Spain another experienced weapon as they look to rediscover the form that carried them to the top of the podium in Romania.

France U25 (FRA) and Chile (CHI) round out the teams seeded inside the top eight, with both capable of disrupting the established order. The young French side will face Beijing in Pool D, while Chile join top seed Neftchi SOCAR and Italy (ITA) in Pool A. With the qualifying teams still to be determined, both groups could become even more unpredictable once the final Main Draw spots are decided.

The Qualifying Draw will feature six teams fighting for the final two places in the Main Draw. Czechia (CZE), Paraguay (PAR) and Egypt (EGY) will battle in Qualifying Draw A, while Ireland (IRL), Ukraine (UKR) and Sweden (SWE) will meet in Qualifying Draw B. With only one team from each qualifying group advancing, there will be little margin for error.

With Neftchi SOCAR aiming to rediscover their winning touch, Amsterdam chasing their first stop victory of the season, Rapid Bucharest arriving with Limouzin in outstanding form and France looking to capitalize on home support, Bordeaux promises another fiercely contested stop on the 2026 Women’s Series calendar.

BUCHAREST (Romania) – Home favorites Rapid Bucharest (ROU) headline a stacked 16-team field as the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series 2026 returns to the Romanian capital for the CS Rapid stop on August 8-9.

One of the crucial opportunities to accumulate ranking points and build momentum as the season finale approaches, the FIBA 3×3 WS CS Rapid stop brings together many of the circuit’s most consistent contenders. Rapid Bucharest will look to reward the home fans with a title after previous disappointment on home soil at FIBA 3×3 WS Bucharest last month, while the Netherlands (NED) arrive chasing a third consecutive Women’s Series stop win.

Germany (GER) and France (FRA) remain among the strongest teams still searching for their first Women’s Series stop wins of 2026, while China (CHN) enter with confidence after already booking a WS stop win in Xiantao. Lithuania (LTU), Austria (AUT), Latvia (LAT) and Beijing (CHN) are also among the marquee teams in a highly competitive main draw that promises another weekend of elite 3×3 basketball action.

Players to watch

Fresh off being named MVP at WS Tokyo, Ilse Kuijt (Netherlands) has been instrumental in the Dutch team’s recent dominance. The Netherlands have just won back-to-back Women’s Series stops in WS Batam and WS Tokyo, and Kuijt will look to help them complete a hat-trick of titles in Bucharest while securing a fourth WS stop win of the season.

Hortense Limouzin (Rapid Bucharest) has been equally influential, leading the hosts to Women’s Series triumphs in WS Baku and WS Cáceres. Backed by passionate home support, Limouzin will be determined to guide Rapid Bucharest to the title after the team narrowly missed out when the Women’s Series previously visited the Romanian capital.

Germany continue to rely on the inside presence of Ama Degbeon, whose physicality and consistency have helped keep her side among the Women’s Series contenders. She will once again be central to Germany’s pursuit of a long-awaited breakthrough WS stop win.

For France, Marie-Eve Paget remains the heartbeat of the team. The experienced playmaker has led France to multiple deep tournament runs this season, including runner-up finishes in WS Orléans and WS Jinan, and will look to finally turn those near misses into tournament success.

China’s hopes once again rest heavily on Yang Hengyu, whose dominant presence around the basket powered her team to the WS Xiantao title. When Yang finds her rhythm, few players on the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series are more difficult to contain.

Meanwhile, Kamile Nacickaite-van der Horst (Lithuania) continues to light up the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series with her shot-making and all-around scoring ability. Lithuania have consistently challenged the elite throughout the season, and another standout performance from their veteran star could finally deliver a breakthrough WS stop victory.

With the season entering such a decisive stretch, another thrilling chapter of the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series 2026 awaits in Bucharest, where every victory could prove crucial in the race toward the season finale.
