MARSEILLE (France) – Another blockbuster edition of the FIBA 3×3 World Tour awaits in Marseille and, as always, the world’s best players will be front and center.

Before the action tips off on July 4-5, let’s take a look at the stars who could steal the show.

Strahinja Stojacic (Ub SRB)

You can never count out “Doctor Strange.” While Ub endured a rare off weekend with a sixth-place finish in Ulaanbaatar, the reigning kings of 3×3 basketball remain one of the most feared teams on the circuit. They have not won a FIBA 3×3 World Tour stop since Chengdu, and that’s precisely why Stojacic becomes even more dangerous. The world’s top-ranked player will be eager to remind everyone why Ub have dominated the Pro Circuit for so long.

Stefan Milivojevic (Liman SRB)

Few players arrive in Marseille with more momentum than Milivojevic. The high-flying scorer was sensational in Ulaanbaatar, leading Liman to their second FIBA 3×3 World Tour win of the season and earning MVP honors in the process. When Milivojevic gets going, he can take over games in a hurry, making him one of the biggest threats in the tournament.

Jonaes Foerts (Antwerp BEL)

Antwerp have quietly built plenty of momentum. Foerts recently led the Belgian side to victory at the Lion City Challenger while also guiding them to runner-up finishes in La Réunion and Brasilia. The only thing missing is a FIBA 3×3 World Tour win. If Antwerp are finally going to break through in 2026, expect Foerts to be right at the center of it.

Evaldas Džiaugys (Raudondvaris Hoptrans LTU)

It has been a frustrating start to the season for one of the circuit’s premier offensive machines. Raudondvaris Hoptrans have yet to finish higher than sixth in a FIBA 3×3 World Tour stop and also stumbled at the Xi’an Challenger. Marseille presents another opportunity for Džiaugys and the Lithuanians to rediscover their best form and rejoin the title conversation.

Vuk Borovićanin (Hangzhou Jingwei CHN)

The young star has quickly become one of the breakout players of the season. Borovićanin helped Hangzhou Jingwei stun the field in WT Shanghai to claim a memorable World Tour win, instantly turning the Chinese side into genuine contenders. If he continues his rapid rise, another deep run could be on the cards.

Franck Seguela (Toulouse FRA)

The French superstar will have extra motivation in Marseille. Toulouse have struggled to find consistency this season, failing to reach a FIBA 3×3 World Tour stop Final and still searching for their first major event win of 2026. However, playing on home soil often brings out the best in Seguela, who will be determined to deliver a memorable performance in front of the French fans.

Diego De Blas (Fuengirola ESP)

Confidence should not be in short supply for De Blas after helping Spain secure qualification for the FIBA 3×3 Europe Cup 2026. Now he turns his attention back to the Pro Circuit, where Fuengirola are still chasing a breakthrough result. Marseille could be the event where the Spaniards finally put everything together.

Jaume Zanca (Barcelona ESP)

Another member of Spain’s successful FIBA 3×3 Europe Cup qualification campaign, Zanca has already tasted victory this season with a Challenger win. The versatile Spaniard continues to develop into one of the most exciting players on the circuit and will look to carry that winning momentum into Marseille.

With former MVPs, proven winners and rising stars all in action, Marseille is shaping up to be another unforgettable stop on the FIBA 3×3 World Tour.

MARSEILLE (France) – Strahinja Stojacic of Ub (SRB) once again proved why he is considered the best player in the world, earning Most Valuable Player honors at the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Marseille 2026 on July 5 after leading his team in defending their title.

The Serbian superstar was the driving force behind Ub’s championship run as they defeated Raudondvaris Hoptrans (LTU) 21-16 in the Final to claim their second FIBA 3×3 World Tour crown of the season.

After a rare setback in WT Ulaanbaatar last weekend and an upset loss to Barcelona (ESP) on Day 1 in Marseille, Stojacic responded in emphatic fashion, helping Ub re-establish themselves among the Pro Circuit’s elite.

His defining moment came in the Semi-Finals against Fuengirola (ESP), when he erupted for 14 points, including his team’s first 11, to propel Ub into the championship game.

Throughout the tournament, ‘Doctor Strange’ dominated every major statistical category, finishing with a tournament-best 64.8 player value, 37 total points, 38 highlights and 15 key assists.

Even though he was held to just one point in the Final, Stojacic’s all-around brilliance across the weekend had already left an indelible mark on the competition.

His heroics earned him the MVP trophy and added another chapter to an already remarkable FIBA 3×3 World Tour career, as the world’s No.1 player once again guided Ub to the top of the podium.
