The Court Is Set for Glory

Are you ready for the heat? Sofia is about to become the undisputed capital of street basketball. From June 5 to 7, 2026, the historic NDK Square transforms into a thunderous arena for the most powerful 3x3 tournament ever staged on Bulgarian soil. This isn't just a competition; it's a global gathering of grit, grace, and gravity-defying dunks. The stage is set for 24 elite squads representing 16 different countries, all converging on the Balkan heartland to crown a king.

Expect fireworks from the very first tip-off. The roster reads like a who's who of European street hoops powerhouses. You'll see the might of Toronto (CAN) clashing with German giants Sparkasse Bochum and Wiesbaden3x3. Romanian firepower arrives via Bucharest Știința and their sibling squad, while Baltic warriors from ROOT/Jurmala (LAT) and Team Estonia bring the northern storm. The Balkans are fiercely represented, with Serbian battalions Uzice Zlatiborac and Turres ready to defend their turf against Greek contenders Team Athina.

But wait, there's more! The competition stretches across continents, featuring México StreetHoopers from across the Atlantic and Irish representatives from Dublin. Local pride is on the line as LEVSKI Palms Bet, WEST GYM, and Bgsili take on the world right in front of their home crowd. Can the home teams hold their own against international heavyweights? The stakes have never been higher.

Three Days of Pure Adrenaline

The action kicks off on June 5 with the Group Phase. From 15:00 to 21:00, two professional 3x3 courts will roar with intensity as 24 teams battle across eight groups. Every possession counts. Every second on the clock is a war zone. The atmosphere will be electric, the crowds deafening, and the basketball nothing short of spectacular.

On June 6, the doors open wider. The morning brings an open 3x3 tournament for non-professionals aged 16 and up, proving that passion knows no professional status. But the real drama hits in the afternoon. From 15:00 to 22:00, the elimination rounds begin. The weak fall. The strong survive. The finals will test nerves and skills alike, culminating in a championship bout that could define careers.

The celebration continues on June 7 with the NIKE KIDS DAY. From 10:00 to 18:00, the future stars of basketball shine in U12, U14, and U16 categories. This is where dreams are born, where the next generation learns that the court is their kingdom. The winner of the main tournament earns a golden ticket: a spot at the CÁCERES CHALLENGER 2026 in Spain, launching them onto the world stage.

Miss a second? You won't. Every single match will be broadcast LIVE on the Bulgarian Basketball Federation channel. Witness history. Feel the energy. Sofia is calling, and the world is answering.
