The South Korean men’s and women’s 3×3 basketball national teams will compete in the ‘2026 FIBA 3×3 Youth Nations League’ to be held in Changzhou, China, this August, aiming to strengthen their international competitiveness.

The Korea Basketball Association announced on the 6th that it decided for the first time this year to participate in the tournament to enhance competitiveness for the 2026 Aichi·Nagoya Asian Games. Previously, the association held its fourth 3×3 performance improvement committee meeting last May and finalized the selection of men’s and women’s national team players to compete in the Asian Games.

Participation in this tournament is expected to be a crucial mock exam that will determine success or failure at the Asian Games. Since the 3×3 basketball event at the 2026 Aichi·Nagoya Asian Games is limited to U-23 players, the plan is to assess team strength and build organizational cohesion by gathering top-tier players of the same age group at the Youth Nations League.

The Yeo Ja (CEO)team, led by coach Jeon Byeong-jun, has assembled a roster with players active in professional leagues, including Song Yun-ha (KB Stars), Kim Jong-un (BNK), Choi Ye-seul (Samsung Life), and Heo Yu-jeong (Shinhan Bank). Notably, Song Yun-ha is the recipient of the inaugural basketball Star Award at the 2024 Futures Star Awards hosted by StarNews. Having shown promise since high school, Song Yun-ha has grown while faithfully serving as a backup to Park Ji-soo, one of the top centers in the WKBL. Meanwhile, the Nam Ja (CEO)team, led by coach Bae Gil-tae, has brought together top university-level talents including Lee Ju-young, Kim Seung-woo (both Yonsei University), Lee Dong-geun (Korea University), and Gu Min-gyo (Sungkyunkwan University) to synchronize their efforts.

The Korean Nam Nyeo (CEO)team is scheduled to face Asian powerhouses such as China, Japan, Mongolia, and Iran in sequence at this tournament. It is evaluated as an ideal opportunity to sharpen practical game sense and improve match management skills by facing strong rival nations that will compete for medals at the main stage, the Asian Games.

The tournament will be held in a total of six ‘STOP’ formats. In each stop, participating countries are divided into two groups with three teams each to play group-stage matches, followed by a final match between the first-place teams from each group. The final winner will be determined by summing up the results obtained across all six stops.

Meanwhile, all matches of the ‘FIBA 3×3 Youth Nations League’ are scheduled to be broadcast live via the official FIBA 3×3 YouTube channel.
