Dvodnevnim spektakularnim turnirom, održanim u petak i subotu (16. i 17. svibnja) u prekrasnom ambijentu hvarske Pjace, odnosno Trga Svetog Stjepana u središtu Hvara; otvorena je četvrta sezona PRO 3×3 Toura, serije međunarodnih turnira u 3×3 košarci, pod punim nazivom PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel.
U jakoj međunarodnoj seniorskoj konkurenciji prvi ovogodišnji turnir PRO 3×3 Toura 2025. driven by Opel osvojila je talijanska ekipa Bologna Campas, koja je u iznimno napetoj finalnoj utakmici, odigranoj u subotu navečer, 17. svibnja, svladala hrvatsku ekipu Primošten rezultatom 22:20. Pobjednički je koš sjajnim šutem za dva poena postigao Andrea Pedrazzini. Osim FIBA bodova, prvoplasiranoj momčadi u seniorskoj Elite Men kategoriji pripala je i novčana nagrada od 2.000 eura, dok je drugoplasirana ekipa dobila iznos od 600 eura. Treće mjesto osvojila je momčad ANNS Maxbet. Pobjednici su nastupili u sastavu: Andrea Pedrazzini, Carlo Maria Cane, Emanuel Terreni i Giacomo Campanella. Kao najbolja ekipa u seniorskoj Elite Men kategoriji na hvarskom turniru ostvarili su i plasman na jak međunarodni 3×3 turnir u Madridu koji ima prestižan status FIBA Questa.
I ove godine na PRO 3×3 Touru održavaju se ogledi juniorskih U-19 ekipa u 3×3 košarci. Pobjednik juniorskog nadmetanja u Hvaru postala je ekipa Rođaci koja je u finalu svladala momčad Dominus 3×3 rezultatom 19:15. Posebna je zanimljivost da je u ovoj inače muškoj konkurenciji nastupila i jedna ženska ekipa Bez milosti. I ne samo da su nastupile, već su na kraju osvojile i treće mjesto!
„PRO 3×3 Tour po treći je put doveo vrhunsku košarku i odličnu atmosferu u grad Hvar te još jednom potvrdio snažnu vezu sporta i turizma. Osim vrhunskih seniorskih košarkaša i njihovih U-19 nasljednika, posebno me veseli uključenost hvarske djece koja tek otkrivaju ljepotu košarke. Turistička zajednica grada Hvara ovaj projekt podržava ne samo kao atraktivnu promociju Hvara kao sportske destinacije, već i kao konkretan doprinos životu lokalne zajednice, odnosno sporta kao temelja zdravog života. Veselimo se budućim zajedničkim projektima jer ovakvi događaji dokazuju da vrhunski sportski sadržaji ne pripadaju isključivo velikim gradovima. Možemo ih i trebamo dovesti i na vrata otočana. Organizacijski je ovo odlično posložen projekt pa ovom prigodom još jednom zahvaljujemo organizacijskom timu iz Udruge PRO 3×3 na entuzijazmu, profesionalnosti i sportskom duhu koji stoje iza svih ove 3×3 priča. Veselim se što ćemo ovu priču nastaviti i dalje – vidimo se 2026.!“, poručila je Iva Belaj Šantić, direktorica Turističke zajednice grada Hvara.
„Iako je još uvijek predsezona, grad i otok Hvar već su puni turista sa svih strana svijeta. Kada se tome dodaju atraktivnost 3×3 košarke i bogati sadržaji koje smo ponudili, jasno je da je zanimanje publike za turnir bilo iznimno veliko. Uz to, na turniru su sudjelovale dvije domaće ekipe za koje su Hvarani glasno navijali, čime se stvarao dodatni izvrsni ugođaj. Kao „šlag“ na kraju uslijedila je grandiozna finalna utakmica između talijanske i hrvatske momčadi. Zbog svega navedenoga jako nam je drago što je prva postaja ovogodišnjeg PRO 3×3 Toura bio upravo prelijepi grad Hvar, koji se i treću godinu zaredom pokazao kao izvrstan domaćin. Od srca zahvaljujemo na odličnoj suradnji i potpori Gradu Hvaru i Turističkoj zajednici grada Hvara“, istaknuo je Tomislav Prpić u ime Udruge PRO 3×3, glavnog organizatora PRO 3×3 Toura 2025. driven by Opel.
Oba dana organizirane su i mnoge zanimlljive nagradne igre i natjecanja za gledatelje. Vrhunac obje večeri (16. i 17. svibnja) pak bila je serija nastupa slovenske akrobatske skupine Dunking Devils, koja iza sebe ima preko 2000 nastupa u više od 55 zemalja svijeta. Oni su svojim trikovima i akrobatskim zakucavanjima, izvedenih pomoću posebnih trampolina i strunjača, dodatno podizali već ionako sjajnu atmosferu te izazivali skandiranje i prave ovacije publike na krcatim tribinama. Drugoga dana u Hvaru je organiziran je i već tradicionalni Kids Day s brojnim sadržajima i događanjima namijenjenima djeci koji je polučio odaziv mnogih mališana. Bila je organizirana i edukacija o 3×3 košarci za igrače, suce, pomoćne suce, djecu i gledatelje.
Druga postaja PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel ponovno se nalazi na morskoj obali, a idući turnir bit će organiziran već u petak i subotu, 23. i 24. svibnja 2025., u lijepom Trogiru, opet na atraktivnoj lokaciji – rivi podno Kule Kamerlengo. Inače, ovogodišnji PRO 3×3 Tour će se od 16. svibnja do 3. kolovoza 2025. održati na ukupno 10 impresivnih lokacija, većinom u središtima gradova, diljem Hrvatske.
Riječ je o jedinstvenom sportsko-turističko-zabavno-edukativnom događaju koji ima i natjecateljski karakter. Osim financijskih nagrada za najbolje, sve prijavljene ekipe iz Hrvatske i inozemstva prikupljaju bodove kako bi na taj način pokušale osigurati plasman na veliko finale u sklopu ovog Toura koje će biti organizirano 2. i 3. kolovoza 2025. u Novalji na otoku Pagu. Završni turnir PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel ima prestižan status FIBA Lite Questa za seniorsku mušku Elite Men kategoriju pa će njegov pobjednik 27. i 28. rujna 2025. putovati na FIBA 3×3 Challenger u Mataro (Španjolska).

Organizatori PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel
A spectacular two-day tournament, held on Friday and Saturday (May 16th and 17th) in the beautiful surroundings of Hvar’s Pjaca, or St. Stephen’s Square in the center of Hvar; opened the fourth season of the PRO 3×3 Tour, a series of international 3×3 basketball tournaments, under the full name PRO 3×3 Tour 2025 driven by Opel.
In a strong international senior competition, the first tournament of this year’s PRO 3×3 Tour 2025 driven by Opel was won by the Italian team Bologna Campas, who defeated the Croatian team Primošten in an extremely tense final match, played on Saturday evening, May 17th, with a score of 22:20. The winning basket was scored by Andrea Pedrazzini with a great two-point shot. In addition to FIBA points, the first-place team in the senior Elite Men category also received a cash prize of 2,000 euros, while the second-place team received an amount of 600 euros. Third place went to the ANNS Maxbet team. The winners were: Andrea Pedrazzini, Carlo Maria Cane, Emanuel Terreni and Giacomo Campanella. As the best team in the senior Elite Men category at the Hvar tournament, they also qualified for the strong international 3×3 tournament in Madrid, which has the prestigious status of FIBA Quest.
This year, the PRO 3×3 Tour is also hosting trials for junior U-19 teams in 3×3 basketball. The winner of the junior competition in Hvar was the Rođaci team, which defeated the Dominus 3×3 team in the final with a score of 19:15. It is particularly interesting that a female team, Bez milosti, also participated in this otherwise male competition. And not only did they participate, but they also won third place!
“PRO 3×3 Tour brought top-notch basketball and a great atmosphere to the town of Hvar for the third time, once again confirming the strong connection between sport and tourism. In addition to top senior basketball players and their U-19 successors, I am especially pleased with the involvement of Hvar’s children who are just discovering the beauty of basketball. The Hvar Tourist Board supports this project not only as an attractive promotion of Hvar as a sports destination, but also as a concrete contribution to the life of the local community, namely sport as the foundation of a healthy life. We look forward to future joint projects because events like this prove that top-notch sports facilities do not belong exclusively to large cities. We can and should bring them to the doorsteps of the islanders. Organizationally, this is an excellently organized project, so on this occasion we would like to once again thank the organizational team from the PRO 3×3 Association for the enthusiasm, professionalism and sportsmanship that stand behind all these 3×3 stories. I look forward to continuing this story – see you in 2026!”, said Iva Belaj Šantić, director of the Hvar Tourist Board.
“Although it is still pre-season, the town and island of Hvar are already full of tourists from all over the world. When you add to that the attractiveness of 3×3 basketball and the rich content that we offered, it is clear that the audience’s interest in the tournament was extremely high. In addition, two local teams participated in the tournament, which the people of Hvar cheered loudly, which created an additional excellent atmosphere. As the “icing” at the end, there was a grandiose final match between the Italian and Croatian teams. Because of all the above, we are very glad that the first stop of this year’s PRO 3×3 Tour was the beautiful town of Hvar, which proved to be an excellent host for the third year in a row. We would like to thank the Town of Hvar and the Tourist Board of the Town of Hvar for their excellent cooperation and support,” said Tomislav Prpić on behalf of the PRO 3×3 Association (Udruga PRO 3×3), the main organizer of the PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel.
Many interesting prize games and competitions for spectators were also organized on both days. The highlight of both evenings (May 16th and 17th) was a series of performances by the Slovenian acrobatic group Dunking Devils, which has over 2000 performances in more than 55 countries around the world. With their tricks and acrobatic dunks, performed using special trampolines and mats, they further enhanced the already great atmosphere and caused chants and real ovations from the audience in the packed stands. On the second day, the already traditional Kids Day was organized in Hvar with numerous activities and events intended for children, which attracted a large turnout. Education about 3×3 basketball was also organized for players, referees, assistant referees, children and viewers.
The second stop of the PRO 3×3 Tour 2025 driven by Opel is again on the sea coast, and the next tournament will be organized on Friday and Saturday, May 23 and 24, 2025, in beautiful Trogir, again at an attractive location – the waterfront at the foot of the Kamerlengo Tower. Incidentally, this year’s PRO 3×3 Tour will be held from May 16 to August 3, 2025, at a total of 10 impressive locations, mostly in city centers, throughout Croatia.
This is a unique sports-tourism-entertainment-educational event that also has a competitive character. In addition to financial prizes for the best, all registered teams from Croatia and abroad collect points in order to try to secure a place in the grand finale of this Tour, which will be organized on August 2 and 3, 2025 in Novalja on the island of Pag. The final tournament of the PRO 3×3 Tour 2025 driven by Opel has the prestigious status of FIBA Lite Quest for the senior men’s Elite Men category, so its winner will travel to the FIBA 3×3 Challenger in Mataro (Spain) on September 27 and 28, 2025.
