In October, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) 3×3 Hongcheon Challenger Championship will be held in Hongcheon, Gangwon.
The Korea 3×3 Basketball Federation (KXO) announced on the 5th that it has confirmed the holding of the FIBA 3×3 Hongcheon Challenger for two days from October 2nd. This tournament is expected to be a sports event that combines the FIBA 3×3 basketball tournament and local festivals (2023 Hongcheon Ginseng and Korean Beef Festival).
3×3 basketball is an official sport in the Olympics and Asian Games. Breaking away from the existing frame of street basketball, FIBA has established new rules and is growing into an international sport.
According to KXO, the FIBA 3×3 competition is divided into 11 levels from level 0 to 10, and the challenger competition held in Hongcheon-gun this time corresponds to level 9. It is the second highest level of competition overall.토토사이트
