VIENNA (Austria) - After a short breather at the quarter mark, this riveting FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2025 season resumes in Vienna with 16 teams aiming for glory.
All eyes will be on hometown heroes and fourth seed Vienna (AUT), who resume their growing rivalry with Miami (USA) in a Pool D blockbuster. The powerhouses are split with Vienna having won a quarter-final classic in Amsterdam before the Americans gained revenge at WT Marseille.
The third team from the group will emerge from QD featuring Lausanne (SUI), Skyliners (GER) and Tel Aviv (ISR).
In-form Ub (SRB) again have top billing as the top seed and they will be bouncing into Vienna with their trademark swagger after consecutive dubs on the pro circuit, including walking away with the title in Marseille.
They will need to be at their brilliant best from the get go against dangerous newcomers London (USA), who are starting to mould into a serious force, and a confident Hangzhou (CHN) beaming after consecutive semi-final finishes on the World Tour.
Pool B might just need to be nicknamed the 'Group of Death' with a trio of teams fighting to make it out of Day One. Amsterdam RABOBANK (NED) are the leaders on the WT standings, but will be frustrated after three runner-up finishes from four Stops.
The Dutch Masters will get all they can handle against powerhouse Riffa (BRN) and young guns Baskets Bonn Telekom (GER), who will unleash hot prospect and dunking machine Fabian Giessmann.
Third seed Toulouse (FRA) had disappointment in Marseille after exiting in the quarters, but they will be looking to get back to the form that took them to a stirring triumph in Amsterdam, where athletic beast Paul Djoko reminded everyone that he is a 3x3 sensation.
But they aren't the only WT winners in Pool C with Raudondvaris Hoptrans (LTU) having stolen the show at WT Chengdu.
The third team in the group will emerge from the QD featuring Partizan (SRB), Utrecht (NED) and Barcelona (ESP).
