Italian summer 3x3 basketball events

Overview

In July 2026 the town of Bisceglie in southern Italy hosted the second edition of the “Mamba 3×3” tournament, featuring U16, U18 and senior categories and serving as a qualifier for the national LB3 finals. The free three‑day event highlighted the community’s tribute to Kobe Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality”.

A week later, on 1 August, Savona inaugurated the first edition of the “Trincee Back On The Map” tournament at the Via delle Trincee court. It was organised by ASD I Dominix De Sann together with Libertà and the municipality to promote sport inclusion.

The same weekend saw the launch of the Seilabeach Sport 3×3 event in Villa San Giovanni, headed by Peppy Costantino and attracting participants of all ages and nationalities, including a Canadian player. In Brindisi, the “Ex Star Game” 3‑vs‑3 competition on 27 July, run by Ora Tocca a Noi APS and ASD Robur Brindisi, was won by Team Hospitale.

Osimo’s Headless street‑basket tournament ran from 30 July to 2 August, drawing a record 260 athletes from 65 teams and granting a spot at the national finals in Roseto degli Abruzzi. Meanwhile, Freaks 3×3 from Senigallia finished fourth in the Italian ranking, earning qualification for the national 3×3 Classic finals in Riccione as the sole Marche representative.

Together, these tightly‑linked tournaments illustrate a coordinated push to expand 3×3 basketball participation and showcase Italian towns as hubs for summer sport events in 2026.
