Spain, Netherlands Capture Historic Titles at FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2025

Mohamed Mandour Spain and the Netherlands clinched their first-ever FIBA 3x3 World Cup titles on Sunday after a dramatic final day in Ulaanbaatar, capping off a week of high-intensity basketball that drew more than 50,000 fans to the Mongolian capital. In the men's final, Spain defeated Switzerland 21-17 behind a dominant performance from Diego De Blas, who knocked down four two-pointers and set the early tone for the Spaniards. De Blas gave Spain a 10-5 lead just three minutes into the contest, and continued to shine on both ends of the court. With 2:21 remaining, De Blas brought Spain to the brink of victory before Iván Aurrecoechea sealed the win with a powerful dunk — a moment that etched Spain's name into 3x3 history with its first World Cup crown. The women's final saw the Netherlands overcome host nation Mongolia, who had captured hearts with their underdog run to the championship game. Led by world No. 1 Noortje Driessen, the Dutch squad applied relentless defensive pressure and built a commanding lead. A step-back two-pointer from Driessen pushed the margin to eight with three minutes left, all but sealing Mongolia's fate. Despite a late push and their first two-pointer of the game with just 90 seconds on the clock, the home side couldn't close the gap. The Netherlands held firm to claim their maiden title, confirming their status as the world's top-ranked team. The 2025 edition of the FIBA 3x3 World Cup delivered unforgettable moments and milestone victories, setting a new benchmark for the sport's global rise. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
