3×3 Event Hosting
Winning the right to host a 3×3 event will deliver real benefits for the host country and cities on a sporting, financial, promotional and social level. As well as creating economic impact through visitor spend and commercial rights allocations, the media reach of 3×3 events makes them valuable place branding and destination marketing tools.

Economic benefits:
• Economic impact and return on investment
