SHANGHAI (China) - Top seed Liman (SRB) will look to continue their strong form after the seedings and pools were confirmed for FIBA 3x3 World Tour Shanghai 2026 on May 30-31.
The Serbian powerhouse headline a loaded 12-team field featuring elite contenders from Europe and Asia ready to light up Shanghai once again.
Liman enter as the No.1 seed and will headline Pool A alongside fellow Serbian side Crvena Zvezda (SRB) and home team DeQing (CHN). With two Serbian teams drawn together, Pool A immediately shapes up as one of the most physical and intense groups in the tournament.
No.2 seed Skyliners (GER) take charge of Pool B where they will battle Hangzhou Jingwei (CHN) and dangerous Mongolian side Sansar M Bank (MGL). The German side will aim to continue their rise on the FIBA 3x3 World Tour after impressing early in the season.
Pool C could produce fireworks with third seed Antwerp (BEL) facing Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy (MGL) and Kaunas VDU (LTU). Antwerp remain one of the most experienced teams on the circuit, but they will need to be sharp against two dangerous challengers capable of pulling off big results.
Home fans will closely follow fourth seed Shanghai (CHN), who headline Pool D together with Baskets Bonn (GER) and Singapore (SGP). Shanghai will hope home support can help fuel a deep run against an experienced and talented group.
