under a single hoop
This Olympic sport is played in the middle of a basketball court, on a single hoop. Teams are made up of three players and a substitute who can enter at any time, as long as play is stopped.
The game lasts ten minutes. The team that has scored the most points in that time or that reaches 21 points first wins. Its practice is very dynamic and requires a great physical and mental display from the athletes.
3×3 basketball is the most popular urban sport in the world. It was born in the streets and has been considered an Olympic sport since 2017.
The 4th FISU America 3×3 is organized by the San Ignacio de Loyola University, the University Sports Federation of Peru and the International University Sports Federation of America.
In 3×3 Basketball, 3 players play against 3 others in a single basket. The playing surface is 15 meters wide by 11 meters long. Only one substitute per team is allowed.
Basketball 3×3 is promoted by FIBA and has already been played in official international competitions, such as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
