Spain and the Netherlands win FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2025

After a thrilling week of action in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Spain and The Netherlands secured their first-ever titles at the FIBA 3×3 World Cup 2025.

50,000 fans attended the event during the week and were treated to historic moments throughout the competition, culminating in an unmissable final day and two fantastic finals.

The men’s side of the tournament culminated in an epic contest as Spain took on Switzerland, where hot shooting from beyond the arc for Spain saw them set the tone early, with Switzerland finding foul trouble.

A big step-back two from Diego De Blas gave Spain a five-point (10-5) cushion with three minutes played, and the 24-year-old was everywhere during this final as he contributed big moments on both the offensive and defensive sides.

Nailing his fourth two-pointer of the game with 2:21 to play, De Blas put Spain within a point of victory before his teammate Iván Aurrecoechea sealed the win as emphatically as anybody has ever secured a 3×3 World Cup win with a thunderous dunk notching a 21-17 win for Spain and their first-ever 3×3 World Cup title.

In the women’s final, the fairytale journey of Mongolia faced one final hurdle in securing the 3×3 World Cup victory for the first time ever, as the top-seeded Dutch stood in their way.

The best team in the world with the best player – Noortje Driessen – showed why they’re worthy of both titles from the outset as their suffocating defence kept Mongolia honest and prevented the home side from getting hot from the perimeter, which had been a feature of their run to this point in the competition.

A step-back two-pointer from Driessen with three minutes to play took the gap to eight and gave the hosts a mountain to climb, but Mongolia’s first two-pointer of the game with 90 seconds remaining gave the home crowd hope.

The Dutch remained calm in face of the pressure, however, and held on to secure 3×3 World Cup title for the first time.

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.
