M1 Group Limited today (Nov.6) held the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Hong Kong Final 2024 press conference at Park Lane Hong Kong, a Pullman Hotel.
The event will take place at Victoria Park from Nov. 22 to 24, marking the first time Hong Kong will host the prestigious FIBA 3x3 World Tour Final.
Fourteen of the world's top teams will compete in Victoria Park, vying for more than HK$1.8 million in prize money and the annual championship title. This year's event will also feature an expanded "3x3 Village" Carnival, including the usual booths, and a collaboration with the Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival, promising an unprecedented "Sportertainment" for the public.
CEO of the Organizing Committee for the World Tour Final, Kenny Wong, said that the FIBA 3x3 event, organized by M1 Group Limited, has seen continued growth in participation over the past two years. To date, it has attracted more than 100,000 visitors, underscoring its growing popularity.
Notably, Agnis Čavars, a member of Latvia's gold medal-winning 3x3 men's basketball team at the Tokyo Olympics, has announced that he will join Team Hong Kong's 3x3 squad and compete in the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Hong Kong Final 2024.
Čavars played a key role in helping Latvia secure the Olympic gold in Tokyo and qualify for the Paris Olympics. He was also a member of the champion Team Riga that won the FIBA 3x3 Jeddah Final in 2020.
In our interview, Čavars expressed confidence in Team Hong Kong, calling it one of the best and emphasizing his commitment to giving their best effort in every game.
Team Hong Kong will play a qualifying match on the evening of Nov. 22, aiming to advance to the group stage the following day, where they will face two world-class teams.
