The FIBA 3×3 Europe Cup 2026 is scheduled to unfold in Antwerp, Belgium, beginning on September 11, and will bring together the continent’s most accomplished national squads alongside a roster of elite athletes drawn from the FIBA 3×3 World Tour.
Serbia enters the competition as the reigning world No.1, led by Strahinja Stojacic, whose individual brilliance and team leadership aim to secure the nation’s first Europe Cup title since 2023, a milestone that would underline Serbia’s dominance in the 3×3 format.
The Netherlands, represented by Olympic champion Worthy de Jong, is eager to capture its inaugural men’s continental crown, with de Jong’s experience and scoring touch positioning the Dutch squad as a serious contender in Antwerp.
Defending champions Lithuania return with Ignas Vaitkus at the helm, while France’s Hugo Suhard provides perimeter shooting and leadership in a team still searching for its first men’s European title. Germany’s rising star Fabian Giessmann, Latvia’s veteran Karlis Lasmanis, Spain’s Diego De Blas, and Belgium’s Dennis Donkor each bring distinct skill sets, from Giessmann’s size and athleticism to Lasmanis’s Olympic, World Cup and European pedigree, De Blas’s drive to rebound after a World Cup loss, and Donkor’s reputation for shooting, defensive intensity and attacking flair.
With a blend of seasoned champions and emerging powers, the tournament promises high‑intensity matchups that will shape the continental landscape, as each nation strives to translate individual brilliance into collective success on the Antwerp courts.
