BUCHAREST (Romania) – Amsterdam RABOBANK (NED) successfully defended their FIBA 3×3 World Tour Bucharest title, completing a perfect seven-game run from the Qualifying Draw to defeat Fuengirola (ESP), 19-17, in a thrilling Final on Sunday.

Amsterdam hold their nerve

Fuengirola made history in Bucharest, becoming the first Spanish team to reach a FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final. But Amsterdam’s experience and composure proved decisive in a tense, physical contest.

The teams traded the lead throughout a low-scoring Final. Fuengirola held an 8-5 advantage midway through the game before Amsterdam responded to move ahead, 9-8, under four minutes remaining. Isaac Mayo and his teammates continued to fight, tying the game at 12-12 and again at 17-17 after Mayo converted two free-throws following a foul on a two-point attempt.

With the title hanging in the balance, de Jong delivered the decisive blow, draining a game-winning two-pointer to seal the 19-17 victory and send Amsterdam to the top once again.

The Dutch side’s road to the title was far from straightforward. They opened their knockout campaign with a 16-13 win over Hangzhou Jingwei (CHN), with de Jong recording six points, seven rebounds and eight highlights. Amsterdam then faced Miami (USA) in a physical Semi-Final, where de Jong erupted for 16 points to power his team to a 21-18 win.

That victory set up the Final against Fuengirola, who had made their own historic run to the championship game.

The Spanish side edged Kaunas VDU (LTU), 21-18, in the Semi-Finals after overcoming a 13-12 deficit with a decisive 5-0 run. Isaac Mayo led Fuengirola with eight points as they secured their first-ever World Tour Final appearance and made history for Spanish 3×3 basketball.

He collected 20 rebounds, the third-highest total in the competition, and recorded five dunks, ranking second overall.

BUCHAREST (Romania) – Amsterdam Rabobank rose to the top, defeating Liman 21 – 12 to win the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Bucharest 2025 on November 9. 

The Dutch went unbeaten all the way, getting the job done against numerous contenders, including sides like Chongming and Skyliners who will compete in the World Tour Manama Final in under two weeks. They last defeated Miami in a 16 – 15 thriller to clinch their spot into the final. 

They would face Liman who looked just as dominant, going through numerous close battles, including their semi-final bout against Riffa that ended 21 – 20, capped off by Mr. Clutch himself, Andreja Milutinovic. 

In the final, Amsterdam Rabobank got the scores ticking early, Worthy de Jong drilling from deep and drawing fouls. Both teams relied on their defense in the initial third of the game as Liman would struggle to get their shot going. 

The Serbians would rely on crafty work in the paint for their scoring along with the occasional twos, but the Dutch went to Bryan Alberts who caught fire, launching two after two to hand Amsterdam a 14 – 8 advantage just over halfway into the action. 

Liman tried to answer back but the Dutch offense had far too much momentum. Alberts kept on his scoring frenzy, leading the way for a Worthy de Jong dagger which sealed the game 21 – 12 in one of the most dominant final performances of the season. The reigning World Tour Final winners would claim their first stop of the season just in time for the World Tour Manama Final on November 21 – 22. 

While Bryan Alberts was the star of the show in the final, there was no overlooking Worthy and his impact on Amsterdam’s success throughout the tournament. He finished the tournament as top scorer with 33 points, 7 of them coming in the final. He led in player value by a wide margin, a 50.2 score that showcased his role on both ends of the game. Hype Worthy earned MVP plaudits in the Dutch’s stop-winning run in Bucharest.

The Dutch side then ended the Cinderella run of Akademija VDU (LTU) in emphatic fashion. Bryan Alberts caught fire with four two-pointers on his way to 11 points as Amsterdam rolled to a 21-11 Semi-Final victory.

Although they fell just short in the championship game, Amsterdam once again displayed their trademark depth and teamwork to secure another World Tour qualification.

The Final
