FIBA, in collaboration with Olympic Solidarity, continues to drive the global growth of 3×3 basketball by investing in youth development across its regions.

Through targeted 3×3 Youth Training Camps, FIBA Regional Offices are building sustainable pathways for players, coaches, referees, and National Federations, ensuring that the next generation is equipped to succeed on and off the court.

These camps, already delivered in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, illustrate how FIBA is advancing its strategic priority of Empowering National Federations, leveraging the support of Olympic Solidarity to deliver impactful development opportunities worldwide.

Africa: Building High-Performance Pathways in Dakar

The first FIBA Africa 3×3 Elite Youth Camp , held in Dakar, Senegal, marked a major milestone in strengthening the continent’s 3×3 ecosystem. Delivered in partnership with Olympic Solidarity, the camp brought together young players, coaches, referees, and officials from across Africa in a high-performance environment.

Participants from Senegal, Kenya, Egypt, and Algeria engaged in a three-day program combining technical training, tactical development, and practical competition. The structure of the camp reflected a holistic development approach:

Dedicated training streams for players, coaches, referees, and table officials
A blend of classroom instruction, on-court sessions, and video analysis
Competitive games to apply newly learned skills in real conditions

By providing access to expert instruction and international best practices, the initiative directly supports the long-term growth of 3×3 basketball across Africa. It also aligns with broader ambitions such as preparing youth talent for global events, including the Youth Olympic Games.

Americas: Strengthening National Federations in the Caribbean

In the Americas, the FIBA 3×3 Youth Training Camp in the Caribbean demonstrates how Olympic Solidarity supports structured, multi-phase development projects. Implemented under the FIBA Plus program, the initiative focuses on strengthening the capacity of National Federations in the region.

Hosted in Nassau, Bahamas, the camp gathered participants from six countries, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago. The program combined:

Technical and tactical training for U23 players
Education sessions for coaches on 3×3 methodology
Referee clinics focused on rules and officiating
Workshops for National Federation representatives on governance, planning, and sustainability

A key feature of the Americas project is its long-term development framework. Prior to the camp, each participating federation receives tailored support from FIBA experts, including analysis, consultations, and customized action plans for 3×3 growth. This comprehensive approach ensures that the benefits of Olympic Solidarity extend beyond the event itself, leaving a lasting legacy in each participating country.

Oceania: Accelerating Regional Talent Pathways

In Oceania, the FIBA 3×3 High Performance Camp, now in its second edition, highlights the region’s continued momentum in developing elite 3×3 pathways. Supported by Olympic Solidarity and key regional partners, the camp brings together players, coaches, and referees from across the Pacific.

Held on Australia’s Gold Coast, the second edition included participants from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and the Solomon Islands. The five-day camp delivers:

Intensive on-court training and physical preparation
Education sessions on performance, recovery, and wellbeing
Dedicated development tracks for coaches and referees
Game scenarios to simulate high-performance competition

Aligned with FIBA’s global strategy, the camp plays a vital role in expanding the region’s talent base and raising the standard of play. It also supports athletes preparing for major competitions, including the Commonwealth Games and Youth Nations League.

A Unified Global Impact

Across all regions, these camps highlight how FIBA is delivering on its strategic priority of empowering National Federations, with Olympic Solidarity playing a vital role in supporting their execution and enabling sustainable development initiatives. Through this collaboration, FIBA supports National Federations to:

Deliver high-quality training environments
Strengthen capacity
Create clear development pathways for youth
Promote gender equality through equal participation opportunities
Build sustainable ecosystems at the grassroots and elite levels

From Dakar to Nassau to the Gold Coast, the shared objective remains the same: to empower the next generation and accelerate the global growth of 3×3 basketball.

3x3ce.org — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 05:31:59 +0000

BASKETBALL – BAHRAIN’S under-23 3×3 basketball women’s national team impressed for a second straight day yesterday in the Asia West/Pacific conference of the Fiba 3×3 Youth Nations League 2026, currently being played in Singapore.

The kingdom’s squad, featuring the quartet of Bayan Salman, Ninel Merkotun, Polina Sviatskaya, and JaMya Robinson, were runners-up in the series’ second stop, claiming the same position from the opening day of action on Thursday.

The Bahrainis were dominant in their two preliminary round contests yesterday against Qatar and Saudi Arabia, but then ran into continental powerhouses Australia in the final for the second successive day. The nationals came away with another 80 points for their conference standings.

Action in Singapore continues today with stop three of six. Following a rest day tomorrow, play will resume on Monday and will be held until the completion of the series on Wednesday.

Teams earn points in each of the six stops as they continue their qualification bids for the Fiba 3×3 U23 World Cup, which is to be held in Hubei, China, from September 15 to 19.

Also competing yesterday in Singapore were Bahrain’s under-23 3×3 basketball men’s national team, who finished fourth for the second consecutive stop.

The Bahrainis split their two fixtures in the preliminaries, beating Qatar but then losing to Saudi, as they came just short of advancing to their final.

Their squad that took to the half-court yesterday included Elyas Younes, Naser Alanzoor, Mishal Buhamood, Hamad Faisal. They collected 60 points for their conference standings.

In yesterday’s women’s tournament, Bahrain got their Pool A campaign off with a resounding 21-4 rout of Qatar. Merkotun led the team with nine points, while Sviatskaya added six, Salman had four, and Robinson finished with two points.

The Bahrainis were then just as outstanding in their next game, where they defeated Saudi with a similar 21-4 score. Salman was their top gun this time, firing in nine points. Sviatskaya chipped in with six, Robinson had four, and Merkotun scored two.

Bahrain’s women then faced off with Australia in the final, where they lost 6-21. Robinson and Sviatskaya had three points apiece in the defeat.

On the distaff, the men’s team got their Pool A schedule underway with a fine 14-8 triumph against Qatar. Alanzoor, Buhamood, and Faisal scored four points apiece, while Younes had two.

The nationals then came agonisingly close to another victory – which would have earned them a berth in the final – but fell to a narrow 16-19 loss to Saudi. Younes had a game-high nine markers, while Faisal contributed four points and Alanzoor had three.

Saudi went on to face Australia in the men’s final, with the Aussies taking the win 20-10.

In today’s third stop in the Asia West/Pacific conference of the Fiba 3×3 Youth Nations League 2026, Bahrain’s women will play in Pool B of the preliminary round with Australia and Qatar, while the men will be in Pool A of their event with Australia and Singapore.

The Bahrainis, featuring the quartet of Bayan Salman, Ninel Merkotun, Polina Sviatskaia, and JaMya Robinson, topped their preliminary round group after winning both their games against hosts Singapore and Saudi Arabia, but they then lost in the women’s final against Australia.

Their squad, coached by veteran Bahraini tactician Murtadha Mohammed, came away with 80 points following their classification in second place.

Yesterday’s action marked the first of six stops in the Asia West/Pacific conference of this year’s Fiba 3×3 Youth Nations League.

The second will take place today until the completion of the series on Wednesday next week.

Coached by Fiba 3×3 World Tour standout Bogdan Dragovic, the Bahrainis split their two fixtures in the preliminaries which were also against Singapore and Saudi.

Their one victory wasn’t enough, however, to book their berth in the men’s final.

Their squad features Ismaeel Alansari, Elyas Younes, Mishal Buhamood, and Mohammed Alanzi.

They came away with 60 points on their conference standings.

Bahrain’s delegation in Singapore is headed by Bahrain Basketball Association official Ahmed Elyas.

Both the women’s and men’s squads feature two other players for a total of six apiece, with Noor Najaf and Amina Hani also looking to lace up their sneakers for the women and Nasser Alanzoor and Hamad Faisal hoping to play for the men.

In yesterday’s opening stop, Bahrain’s women got their Pool A campaign underway with a 13-9 victory over Singapore.

Robinson scored five points to pace the nationals while Salman added four, Sviatskaya had three, and Merkotun chipped in with one.

The kingdom’s squad then followed that up with a 19-5 rout of Saudi. Robinson and Sviatskaya finished with seven points apiece in Bahrain’s victory, while Salman had four and Merkotun one point.

In the women’s final, however, Australia were too good and they held the Bahrainis to just eight points en route to securing the 21-point target.

Salman scored four for the nationals while Sviatskaya added three and Merkotun one.

Meanwhile, the men’s team lost their opening Pool A game to the home side Singaporeans 6-21, with Alanzi finishing as their leading scorer with just three points.

They roared back with a 14-11 triumph against Saudi as Alansari, Younes, and Buhamood had four points apiece, while Alanzi chipped in with two markers.

Australia went on to win the men’s final 22-18 against Singapore.

In today’s second stop, both Bahrain’s women’s and men’s teams are in Pool A of their respective competitions along with Saudi and Qatar.

They will each once again hope to top their division to qualify for today’s final.

New Caledonia to Host 2026 FIBA 3×3 Youth Nations League, Strengthening Oceania’s Pathway to the World Stage | About FIBA

3x3ce.org — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 01:05:42 +0000

GOLD COAST (Australia) – New Caledonia will take centre stage this June as host of the 2026 FIBA 3×3 Youth Nations League, marking only the second time Oceania has delivered the regional event following the success of the 2025 edition held during the Pacific Mini Games.

The tournament will bring together emerging 3×3 talent from New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, and Solomon Islands, offering a rare home‑region qualification pathway to the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2026.

As the sole qualification route to the U23 World Cup, the Nations League carries significant weight. Aside from automatic berths for hosts China and the 2025 World Cup champions (Lithuania men and Netherlands women), all remaining 18 teams per gender will earn their place based on their Nations League performance. For Oceania’s young athletes, many of whom are preparing for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, this event provides both a competitive springboard and a meaningful development milestone.

FIBA Executive Director – Oceania, Amanda Jenkins, said hosting the event in New Caledonia reflects the region’s growing commitment to 3×3 as a strategic priority.

“3×3 is one of the most powerful accelerators we have for emerging basketball nations,” Ms Jenkins said. “Hosting Youth Nations League in Oceania ensures our young players gain access to high level competition. It’s a direct investment in the next generation, and New Caledonia is the perfect host to carry that momentum forward.”

The 2026 edition also carries long term benefits beyond World Cup qualification. To further strengthen pathways, the best ranked National Federations at the U23 World Cup will receive preferential access to the FIBA 3×3 Pro Circuit (Men) and the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series in 2027. For Pacific nations building sustainable 3×3 programs, this creates a tangible link between youth development and professional opportunity.

Set against the turquoise lagoons and rich Kanak cultural heritage that define the archipelago, New Caledonia offers a uniquely vibrant backdrop for the 2026 FIBA 3×3 Youth Nations League. As one of the Pacific’s most dynamic sporting destinations, the territory blends world‑class facilities with a deep community passion for basketball, making it an ideal stage for emerging 3×3 talent.

For New Caledonia, hosting the event is both a sporting milestone and a community celebration. A representative from the New Caledonia Basketball Federation President, Thierry Durand said the event will energise local fans and inspire young players across the territory.

“To welcome the Youth Nations League is a proud moment for our basketball community,” Mr Durand said. “Our young athletes will compete on home soil, our volunteers and officials will gain invaluable experience, and our fans will see first hand what the future of 3×3 looks like. It’s more than a tournament, it’s a catalyst for growth.”

With Fiji’s men’s and women’s teams and Tonga’s women’s team deep in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, the timing of the Nations League offers a high performance lead in that aligns perfectly with their competitive calendar. For Solomon Islands and New Caledonia, the event provides a platform to accelerate youth development and strengthen national 3×3 structures.

The return of the Youth Nations League to Oceania underscores FIBA’s broader strategic objective, using 3×3 as a fast, accessible, and community driven format to elevate emerging basketball nations.

Hosting the event allows New Caledonia to showcase not only its natural beauty and warm hospitality, but also its growing commitment to youth sport, high performance pathways, and regional cooperation. For visiting teams and fans, the tournament promises an unforgettable mix of elite competition and Pacific charm, where the energy of 3×3 meets the spirit of an island community proud to welcome the region.

As the countdown to June begins, New Caledonia is poised to deliver an event that not only shapes qualification outcomes but also deepens the region’s long term investment in the sport.
