Introduction
The FIBA Open is a grassroots 3x3 basketball tournament held yearly over a weekend at FIBA's Headquarters in Mies. Welcoming more than 300 teams and attracting over 4,000 visitors each year, the event brings together communities from across the region in a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
It also marks a unique moment in the year, as it is the only weekend when the FIBA Museum opens its doors to the public, celebrating the anniversary of the House of Basketball and inviting visitors to experience the legacy of the game in a special way.
The tournament is designed to be as inclusive as possible, offering a wide range of categories for all ages and abilities. From youth competitions to over 40, as well as Wheelchair and Special Olympics categories, everyone can find their place on the court.
Mixed categories, such as Family and Corporate, further enhance the spirit of the event, allowing people from the same household or workplace to share a fun and memorable experience together.
The FIBA Open also hosts the SB 3x3 Swiss Tour and the Elite Women tour which showcase top-level basketball.
Since 2024, the FIBA Open has entered a new dimension, becoming a fundraising event for a social cause. Every year, all the benefits generated during the event will be donated to a social project supported by the FIBA Foundation. This initiative is aligned with the Basketball For Good vision of the Foundation - using the power of basketball to initiate a positive change.
