Mies, Switzerland, July 10: The International Basketball Federation has announced that Mongolia will host the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2027.
The tournament will run from March 31 to April 4 in the heart of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, where the rise of 3x3 basketball shows no signs of slowing down.
Mongolia’s hosting of Asia’s biggest 3x3 event follows a recent landmark moment for Mongolian basketball, with more than 50,000 passionate fans turning up in Sukhbaatar Square for an unforgettable FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2025.
The Mongolian women’s team thrilled local supporters with a remarkable run to the final, earning nationwide praise and recognition. Days after the event, the team was received by the President of Mongolia, Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh, and awarded an honorary athlete distinction in honour of their achievement.
"Mongolia continues to prove itself as a true world-class hub for 3x3 basketball,” said FIBA 3x3 Managing Director Alex Sanchez.
“The fans, the atmosphere and the quality on the half-court make Mongolia the ideal host for the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2027. We are excited to return to Ulaanbaatar, 10 years after Mongolia made history by staging the first-ever FIBA Asia Cup in 2017."
