World number one Team Ub of Serbia claimed the championship title following a 21-15 victory over China’s Shanghai in the final of the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Macau 2026, which concluded on Sunday at the Ruins of St. Paul’s.

The Macau leg featured 16 teams competing for a prize pool of USD 185,000 in a qualifying fixture for the World Tour Finals and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

In Sunday’s final, Shanghai established an early lead before Team Ub recovered with outside scoring to secure the 21-15 win. Ub player Marko Brankovic was named Most Valuable Player.

Earlier in the tournament, quarter-final fixtures saw Ub defeat DeQing (China), the Skyliners (Germany) defeat Amsterdam Rabobank (Netherlands), Shanghai defeat Taipei WanBao (Chinese Taipei), and Miami (USA) defeat local side Cotai Wolfunited. In the semi-finals, Ub defeated the Skyliners 21-15 and Shanghai defeated Miami 21-18.

Authorised by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the tournament was organised by the Sports Bureau and StarMac Entertainment Production Limited, co-organised by the Macau-China Basketball Association and Chaiioi Sports Company Limited, and supported by the Macao Government Tourism Office.

In supporting competitions, Toni Blazan of Team Vienna (Austria) won the Shoot-Out Contest, and Piotr Grabowski of Poland won the Dunk Contest. Presentations were led by officials including Sports Bureau President Leong Wai Man and StarMac Chief Executive Officer Lou Kit Long.

The night in Vienna

For all the recent near-misses, few players in the men’s game can match Stojačić’s record: World Cup MVP and Europe Cup MVP in 2023, two World Cup titles, two Europe Cup gold medals, three World Tour MVP awards in 2022, 2023 and 2025, and a place in the World Cup Team of the Tournament at each of the last three editions.

He does not make much of the individual honours.

“It is not about which [person] is first,” he said of the rankings. “We want our team to be the best team in the world, and that’s it, just focus on the team, and to play every time better and better.”

With that said, there is one memory for the 34-year-old that stands out above the rest: Vienna, 2023.

Serbia beat the USA 21-19 in the World Cup final to retain their title, despite Jimmer Fredette scoring 10 points for the beaten finalists.

“The second gold in the World Cup, in Vienna, 2023,” he said. “This is the tournament where we really played very well, and I played maybe the best game of my life. The crowd was amazing, we had so many fans. We had so much luck in the end, but we won this game and we won the gold.”
