International Basketball Federation:  China is one of the most active countries for 3x3 basketball events in 2023 and will have more 3x3 tournaments next year, a top official of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) said here.

Ignacio Soriano, the FIBA 3x3 Head of Events and Partnerships, talked to Xinhua at the FIBA Headquarters near Geneva after the 3x3 World Tour in Shanghai, China, which concluded last weekend, promising to put China on the calendar more frequently next year, reports Xinhua.

"China is one of the countries having more activities in the professional level," Soriano said. "We're going to have three (more) World Tours by the end of this year. We had seven challengers, three women's series. So basically, we have been hosting every single different event of the competition network."
