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.

Some of the benefits for the event host, highlighted by case studies following 3×3 events, include:

Economic benefits:
• Economic impact and return on investment

• Revenues opportunities (sale of tickets, hospitality, sponsorship packages and local broadcast rights)
• Auxiliary events potential (associated events with economic value)

Sporting benefits:
• Inspirational guests (the stars of the sport)
