The President of Macau China Universitarian Sports Association (ADUM) Lou Kit Long, recently visited the World University Sports Federation’s headquarters in Lausanne to sign the hosting contract of the 2026 FISU University World Cup 3×3 Basketball.
We now know who will be the next host after Brasilia for the 2026 FISU University World Cup 3×3 Basketball this autumn.
ADUM’s President, Lou Kit Long (right, here with FISU World Championships & Cups Director, Andrea Uccello) signed the hosting contract and the best 3×3 basketball university students are expected to meet there at the end of October.
The fast-paced game (here a picture from the 3×3 Greater Bay Area Tour 2025 finals) will be at home in Macau China for several days, as FIBA is also going to organise a stage of the World Tour on 17-18 October.
“We are delighted to see our FISU University World Cup 3×3 Basketball taking place in Macau this year,” said FISU Secretary General and CEO, Matthias Remund (left, with FISU Deputy Secretary General Fernando Parente.) “Following a successful edition in Brasilia in 2025, it is wonderful to bring the event back to Asia. This reflects the region’s strong commitment to the development of university sport and reinforces our shared vision to grow student sport both in Asia and worldwide.”
3×3 basketball is one of the most popular sports amongst university students. FISU World Cups are really special, as the participants get to represent not only their countries and regions, but above all their universities. This makes the continental qualifying tournaments almost as exciting as the finals!
We will soon announce more details about these as well as about the event in Macau.
