The 'Worldwide Festival' FIBA 3x3 Hongcheon Challenger 2024 will be held

 The 3x3 festival from all over the world will be held once again in Hongcheon-gun following last year.

NH Nonghyup Bank's FIBA 3x3 Hongcheon Challenger 2024 will kick off in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon State, for two days on the 11th and 12th. This is the first FIBA 3x3 Challenger in the world in 2024, and it is also preparing a lot for FIBA (International Basketball Federation).

The Korea 3x3 Basketball Federation (KXO), which hosted the Hongcheon Challenger with Hongcheon in October last year, will host the Hongcheon Challenger with Hongcheon-gun, the Hongcheon-gun Council, and the Hongcheon-gun Sports Council this year as well. In particular, the event was selected as a public contest project by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is expected to attract more attention.

The meaning of the 'Hongcheon Challenger' is meaningful in Korea's 3x3 history, which began in earnest in 2018.

In the meantime, a total of four challengers have been held in Korea, including Inje, Jeju, Seoul, and Sacheon. However, Hongcheon-gun and KXO have confirmed the continuous hosting of FIBA and Hongcheon Challengers by 2026 for the internationalization of Korea's 3x3, and this tournament will be recorded as the first challenger in Korea's 3x3 history to be held in the same region for two consecutive years.

Participating teams have spectacular performances given high expectations. Princeton (U.S.), which includes Dave Huffman, who led the team to win the 2019 3x3 World Cup, as well as European powerhouses Adaji (Latvia), Utrecht (Dutch) and Düsseldorf (Germany) have confirmed their participation. On top of that, Kang Bail, who played for Samsung in Seoul until last season, will participate in the upcoming Hongcheon Challenger as a member of Zabhang in Mongolia.

In Korea, starting with Seoul, which includes Kim Jung-nyeon, the No. 1 Korean ranking, Busan Clean Shot, Ha Mo Jin-ju, and Hanul Construction will participate, while Hanul Construction and Busan Clean Shot will challenge the Hongcheon Challenger for the second consecutive year as a member of the KXO League.

A KXO official said, "We are preparing more for this competition than the last one. For example, the DJ box, which is one of the important components of the 3x3 competition, will be placed in a different position that we will try for the first time in Korea. FIBA is also interested in this year's FIBA 3x3 Challenger, as it is the first FIBA 3x3 Challenger to be held in the world. Therefore, during this year's Hongcheon Challenger, FIBA 3x3 Asia Director will visit Hongcheon-gun in person. Since this competition is held with a lot of interest, we will work hard with Hongcheon-gun to ensure that the competition is successful so that the 'Hongcheon Challenger' can be delayed as a 3x3 brand," he said.

All matches of NH Nonghyup Bank's FIBA 3x3 Hongcheon Challenger 2024, which is 9 days away from the event, will be broadcast live on YouTube, while major matches on the 11th and 12th will be broadcast live on KBSN.   안전 토토사이트
