Abu Dhabi will host, for the second year in a row, the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final, and the stars of 3×3 basketball will battle, on 27-28 October in Zayed Sports City, in the iconic International Tennis Arena. 

None less than 11 medalists of the recently finished FIBA 3×3 World Championships will be present also in Abu Dhabi to claim the crown in the grand finale of the professional season. The american Kavon Lynch, from USA National Team will be the only one missing, out of the 12 medalists in Guangzhou, China. His place will be taken, in Team Chicago, by Lavonte Douglas.

All the players from Serbia, the golden medalists at the WCH, and Slovenia, the bronze medalist, will arrive in Abu Dhabi as Team Al Wahda Novi Sad, respectively Team Piran.

The Slovenians won the European Championships in Bucharest this autumn, defending the Serbians in the final, so the Balkan feud will continue in Abu Dhabi also.
