Fiba 3x3 World Tour Hong Kong to be held away from Victoria Park for first time
The Fiba 3x3 basketball World Tour Hong Kong will be held away from Victoria Park for the first time this summer, the organisers said on Tuesday. Advertisement Scheduled to run from July 19 to 20, the event will move indoors to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. With Victoria Park hosting the beach volleyball at the National Games later this year, sources told the Post a move away from Causeway Bay was 'inevitable' for the 3x3 event, which has been held annually in Hong Kong since 2022. Victoria Park has been its usual venue and was also the site for the qualifying tournament in April last year for the Paris Olympics. 'We usually host the event in November, but Hong Kong co-hosting the National Games [with Guangdong and Macau] around that time this year meant the schedule was out of the question this time,' the source said. Fiba 3x3 World Tour hopes to ride on the popularity of the Hong Kong Book Fair.
