In a thrilling final held in Vienna, the Spanish capital's squad captured the inaugural FIBA 3×3 Women's Series title of 2026, edging the Ulaanbaatar Amazons 20‑14. The victory marked Madrid's first series championship of the year and highlighted a tournament that combined high stakes with unexpected twists.
The competition was far from predictable. Top seeds such as Rapid Bucharest, Germany and Canada were eliminated early, turning the draw into a cascade of upsets that kept fans on edge and reshaped the bracket in surprising ways.
Madrid’s road to the championship was anything but straightforward. They survived a dramatic quarter‑final clash against Netherlands U25 and later edged Mitsubishi Electric in a tightly contested semi‑final, displaying a blend of defensive intensity and clutch execution that kept their title hopes alive.
Looking Ahead
The FIBA 3×3 Women's Series will continue with the next stop in Orléans, France, scheduled for June 16‑17. As the season progresses, Madrid will look to build on this momentum while other contenders aim to reclaim their footing in a rapidly evolving tournament landscape.
