The International Basketball Federation: The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is not seeking to expand the Olympic 3x3 basketball competition in the near future, FIBA secretary general Andreas Zagklis said here on Thursday.

"We should not think the World Cup went from 24 [teams] to 32, so with a magic wand, we can take the teams from 12 to 16 or from eight to 12 [at the Olympics]," Zagklis told the annual year-end media conference, reports Xinhua.

Zagklis said the participating teams in the 5x5 basketball and the 3x3 basketball competitions will not be increased at Los Angeles 2028 or at Brisbane 2032.
