The city of Manama, in Bahrain, will host the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final on 21 and 22 November. The event will bring together the teams that have shown the most consistency throughout the professional circuit during a season featuring multiple hosts and close results across the calendar.
A total of 14 teams will compete in the Final. Ten will qualify directly based on their position in the World Tour Standings after the stop in Bucharest, while the remaining teams will complete the field through cumulative performance in Pro Circuit events and the Qualifying Draw, which will determine the final berth in the Main Draw.
Qualified teams and the final stop
Ub, Amsterdam Rabobank, Miami, Chongming, Liman, Toulouse and Raudondvaris Hoptrans have already secured their place in Manama as part of the top positions in the standings. In addition, Seef will participate as the host team, taking the spot allocated to the local organiser.
The remaining direct qualification spots will be decided after the final World Tour stop in Bucharest. Riffa, Hangzhou, Vienna, Skyliners and Ulaanbaatar were still in contention for the last three ranking-based places ahead of the Final. The group composition will be determined through an official draw scheduled for 13 November, once all teams have been confirmed.
