The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is set to welcome sanctioned sport to its headquarters for the first time when the 3x3 Women s Series - the professional circuit for women s 3x3 basketball - comes to Mies next month.
Organised by Swiss Basketball, the event is set to take place on May 15 and 16 and will mark the first time a FIBA official competition is organised at the headquarters in Switzerland.
The FIBA headquarters were renamed the Patrick Baumann House of Basketball in 2018 in memory of the former FIBA secretary general and International Olympic Committee member. The Patrick Baumann House of Basketball has been host to several 3x3 events before but organising a FIBA official competition at home in front of our headquarters, on the same day that Patrick is inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, will definitely have a special meaning to us, said current FIBA secretary general Andreas Zagklis.
