FIBA provides new updates for FIBA 3x3 2020 season
In line with its decision to suspend all FIBA competitions on March 12, confirmed at the FIBA’s Central Board on March 26 and 27, FIBA announced on May 20 a new series of updates for the FIBA 3x3 2020 season.
No FIBA 3x3 official competitions will take place before August 2020 at the earliest due to the current situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, some events had to be cancelled. The majority of them are still on course to be played in the third or fourth quarter of the year. A final decision will be taken at a later date. Here’s a breakdown:
Events postponed to 2021:
- 2 Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (moved to 2021 following the Tokyo Olympics postponement)
Events cancelled for the 2020 season:
- 4 World Tour events (Prague, Lausanne, Los Angeles, Nanjing)
- FIBA 3x3 U23 Nations League
- Qualifiers to the various Zone Cups
- FIBA 3x3 U17 Zone Cups (including Qualifiers)
FIBA remains committed to bring 3x3 back in action and continues to work actively in the planning and organization of the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, Challengers, Women’s Series, Zone Cups and World Cups U-23 and U-18 in the remainder of 2020 as well as in January 2021 if needed.
The updated season calendar can be found on the official FIBA 3x3 website.
FIBA will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation on a regular basis and communicate any further updates.
