Fiba Name Mongolia as 3×3 Asia Cup 2027 Host

FIBA has announced that Mongolia will host the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2027, from March 31 to April 4, in the heart of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, where the rise of 3×3 basketball shows no signs of slowing down.
Mongolia’s hosting of Asia’s biggest 3×3 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 3×3 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 3×3 basketball,” said FIBA 3×3 Managing Director Alex Sanchez. “The fans, the atmosphere, and the quality on the half-court make Mongolia the ideal host for the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2027. We are excited to return to Ulaanbaatar, ten years after Mongolia made history by staging the first-ever FIBA Asia Cup in 2017.”

This latest announcement marks another milestone in Mongolia’s impressive journey as a leader in 3×3 basketball development in Asia. Mongolia has continued to strengthen its reputation as a trusted and passionate host of major international 3×3 events such as the FIBA 3×3 U18 World Cup 2019, the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2024, annual FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series stop and FIBA 3×3 World Tour. The recent FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2025 showcased once again Mongolia’s incredible passion for 3×3 basketball and its ability to deliver world-class urban sporting events.

About FIBA 3×3

Exciting, urban and innovative, 3×3 is inspired by several forms of streetball played worldwide and is considered the world’s number one urban team sport. Steered by FIBA, games see two teams of three players face off on a basketball half-court.
It was played successfully for the first time in international competition at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and since then has benefited from the launch of a yearly professional circuit for men and women (World Tour and Women’s Series respectively) and national-team competitions. 3×3 made its Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
