SINGAPORE – Excitement is already building for the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2024, which is poised to kick off in spectacular style, marking the beginning of an exciting year for the world’s number one urban team sport. For the third straight edition, the vibrant city of Singapore will host the premier 3×3 tournament in Asia from March 27-31, 2024. The games will be played at the Singapore Sports Hub, a venue that has staged numerous renowned sports events, with the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup standing out for its particularly electrifying atmosphere, placing it high among the most memorable experiences. The 2024 edition of the Asia Cup will effectively launch a major year for 3×3, which will be headlined by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It will be 3×3’s second appearance at the Olympics after its successful debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. “Thrilled to return to Singapore for the third edition of the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup, kicking off what promises to be a monumental year. Starting the season in this vibrant city is truly special, and the anticipation is building as the best 3×3 players and teams in Oceania and Asia prepare to engage in fierce competition,” said Alex Sanchez, FIBA 3×3 Director. “Building on the success of the past two editions of FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup and the inaugural 2023 FIBA Intercontinental Cup, we are excited to bring the basketball action back to our local and regional fans. Organising such international events allow Singapore to showcase our capabilities and elevate the profile of the sport locally and regionally, thereby inspiring more youths to pursue the sport competitively. At the same time, it provides our Team Singapore athletes a valuable opportunity to compete alongside the best teams in the region in front of a home crowd. We are immensely proud of our athletes’ fighting spirit in the last two seasons, and look forward to another exciting basketball season this March,” said Marcus Tan, Chief of Sport Development Group, Sport Singapore. 2023 Asia Cup was most memorable event in the tournament’s history Packed stands of passionate fans made for an incredible sight at the Singapore Sports Hub OCBC Square during the 2023 edition of the Asia Cup. There were an impressive 43 teams in the entire draw – 23 men’s and 20 women’s – in a showcase of the best 3×3 talent in Asia. In what might have been the greatest ever Asia Cup final, Mongolia snapped powerhouse Australia’s 24-game winning streak in the event after superstar Anand Ariunbold hit an all-time buzzer-beater. Their victory marked Mongolia’s second title, with their first in 2017, while Australia will be looking for revenge as they bid for a record-extending fourth title. The only other country that has tasted gold in the men’s is Qatar, who won the first Asia Cup in 2013. In the women’s tournament, Australia had an irresistible run. It was their third title, with China, India, and New Zealand having also triumphed previously in the women’s event. 2024 edition promises more with Olympic Games in the horizon “We are thrilled to host the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup once again here at the Singapore Sports Hub. This event complements our commitment to provide greater access for Singaporeans and visitors to world-class sporting action,” shared Yazed Osman, Group Head, Events & Placemaking, Kallang Alive Sport Management. “We will continue to proactively programme around the tournament with inviting activities for the community at large to drive awareness and grow interest in basketball because all it takes is a spark to kindle passion and ambition, especially in our youths, and we aspire to be that catalyst for sporting dreams.” Make a date with us.

17th November 2023 Celebrating the Legacy of Basketball Champion Chong Yew Seng In collaboration with the family of the late Star of Singapore Basketball, Mr. Chong Yew Seng, Jurong Secondary School Basketball Alumni Community and the Basketball Association of Singapore (BAS) will host a special exhibition game to celebrate his legacy and raise funds for his family. Chong Yew Seng dedicated over a decade to represent Singapore in the 1980s and made significant contributions to the sport as the national coach. He played a pivotal role in the development of Jurong Secondary School Basketball over generations of students. With the support of the family members, the Jurong Secondary School Basketball Alumni Community has approached BAS for the collaboration of this event to honor the legacy of their beloved coach. Chong Yew Seng’s career was filled with remarkable achievements, shining through his perseverance and unwavering commitment to the game. Learning to play basketball at the age of 12, he quickly climbed the ranks, representing Singapore and leaving an indelible mark on the sport. One of his unforgettable contributions was the stunning 68-63 victory over Iran in the 1981 Asian Basketball Confederation Championship, now known as the FIBA Asia Cup. Despite narrowly missing out on a medal at the 1989 SEA Games, his impact was felt through his skillful playmaking and remarkable on-court performances. After his playing days, he began coaching at Jurong Secondary School, where he continued to inspire and nurture young talents. Tragically, his coaching tenure was cut short after being diagnosed with cancer, emphasizing the challenges he faced with courage and grace. To honor his memory and express gratitude for his contributions to the sport, BAS, in partnership with Chong’s family and Jurong Secondary School Basketball Alumni Community, invites the entire basketball community, both old and new members, to witness the memorable commemorative game. The event aims to not only celebrate Chong’s esteemed legacy but also to raise funds for his family, acknowledging the impact he had on the lives of many both on and off the court. The game will serve as a testament to Chong Yew Seng’s enduring legacy and the profound impact he left on Singapore basketball. It will bring together his former teammates and Jurong Secondary School Basketball Alumni Community for a memorable match, harnessing the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship that Chong exemplified throughout his career. We call upon all basketball fans to come together to honor the memory of this remarkable individual and support his family while celebrating the sport of basketball that he held dear to his heart. The match will take place at 3 pm on Sunday, November 26, 2023, just before the NBL Division 1 Grand Final at 4:30 pm, at the Basketball Association of Singapore. The schedule for the day: Time Program 1.00 pm – 2.45 pm 3rd and 4th Placement match 3.00 pm – 4.15 pm “In memory of Chong Yew Seng” Game – Exhibition match between legends and Jurong Secondary School Basketball Alumni Community 4.30 pm – 6.00 pm Grand Finals of NBL Division 1 2023 6.30 pm Prize Presentation by sponsors and GOH For those who want to make donation to Mr Chong’s Family, you may make a paynow transfer thru the QR Code (attached file) Media Advisory for Celebrating the Legacy of Basketball Champion Chong Yew Seng
