Dvodnevni atraktivni 3×3 košarkaški turnir, koji je protekloga vikenda (u petak i subotu, 18. i 19. srpnja) organiziran na vrhunskom 3×3 košarkaškom terenu postavljenom na Cvjetnom trgu u središtu Nove Gradiške, brojnoj je publici ponudio bogat i sadržajan program te protekao u humanitarnom tonu. U sportskom dijelu najviše su razloga za slavlje na kraju imali reprezentativci Mađarske u 3×3 košarci.
Ovaj je veliki događaj održan u okviru PRO 3×3 Toura, serije spektakularnih međunarodnih turnira u 3×3 košarci, a navedeni lijepi grad u zapadnoj Slavoniji bio je osma postaja u aktualnoj četvrtoj sezoni PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel. Drugu godinu zaredom pak novogradiško izdanje PRO 3×3 Toura realizirano je u kombinaciji s humanitarnim streetball turnirom „Svi smo uz tebe Hrva!“ koji je održan osmi put, a njegov je cilj pomoć Hrvoju Modriću, članu Košarkaškog kluba „Strmac“ Nova Gradiška, koji je doživio tešku ozljedu na košarkaškom terenu. Stoga su na svečanom otvorenju dvodnevnog događaja, organiziranom u petak predvečer (18. srpnja) na 3×3 terenu na Cvjetnom trgu, okupljene u ime domaćina i lokalnih suorganizatora pozdravili gradonačelnik grada Nove Gradiške Vinko Grgić, predsjednik Košarkaškog kluba „Strmac“ Nova Gradiška Ivan Dobričić i Hrvina sestra Matea Modrić.
Što se tiče glavnog dijela natjecanja, realiziranih u sklopu PRO 3×3 Toura, dva su dana brojni gledatelji pratili zanimljiva nadmetanja 3×3 momčadi u dvije konkurencije. Na kraju je u seniorskoj Elite Men kategoriji najbolja bila mađarska ekipa HUN-1 koja je u završnom obračunu, odigranom u subotu navečer (19. srpnja) rezutatom 21:17 svladala hrvatsku momčad 3×3 Zagreb NITUI. Time je, uz FIBA bodove, osvojila novčanu nagradu od 2.000 eura. Za pobjedničku ekipu – kojoj je, nakon lipanjskog turnira u Umagu, ovo drugi PRO 3×3 turnir koji su osvojili u ovoj sezoni – igrali su: Kelemen Balazs, Laszlo Komma, Matyas Molnar i Uroš Rosić. Koliko su bili dominantni u Novoj Gradiški dokazuje činjenica da je u pet odigranih utakmica HUN-1 ostvario svih pet pobjeda.
Drugoplasiranoj momčadi 3×3 Zagreb NITUI pripao je iznos od 600 eura, a treće mjesto osvojila je ekipa Radnik Križevci 3×3. Navedene momčadi trebale su biti one koje su osigurale svoje mjesto na Završnom turniru PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel koji će 2. i 3. kolovoza biti organiziran u Novalji na otoku Pagu. No, budući da su 3×3 Zagreb NITUI i Radnik Križevci 3×3 to uspjeli napraviti već na prethodnim PRO 3×3 turnirima, umjesto njih u Novoj Gradiški „ulaznice“ za Novalju dobile su četvrtoplasirana i petoplasirana ekipa na ovom turniru, HUN-3 i HUN-2. I u navedenim momčadima, kao i kod pobjednika turnira, igrali su reprezentativci Mađarske u 3×3 košarci s užeg i šireg izborničkog popisa. Stoga su mađarski 3×3 igrači i treneri u Novoj Gradiški imali velikih razloga za zadovoljstvo.
Interesantno je bilo i u muškoj juniorskoj U-19 konkurenciji u okviru PRO 3×3 Toura. U neizvjesnom završnom dvoboju slavila je ekipa Španeri, svladavši momčad 3×3 SB s 13:12. Pobjednici su nastupili u sastavu: Vito Hrs, Oliver Magdić Govedarica, Marko Musa i Ardian Seba.
Kada je riječ o humanitarnom streetball turniru „Svi smo uz tebe Hrva!“, čije su se utakmice u subotu (19. srpnja) igrale paralelno, u stankama između PRO 3×3 ogleda, na kraju je najbolja bila ekipa Roko koja je u finalu pobijedila momčad Faul Više rezultatom 13:7.
U popratnom, revijalnom i zabavnom dijelu programa oba dana svojim su se atraktivnim nastupima predstavile Mažoretkinje Grada Nova Gradiška i Plesni studio Nova Gradiška. Osim toga, organizirani su i humanitarna tombola i humanitarna prodaja prigodnih majica, čiji je sav prihod namijenjen Hrvinoj rehabilitaciji i osiguravanju boljih uvjeta za život. Realizirano je i više nagradnih igara i natjecanja za gledatelje u kojima su okupljeni osvojili vrijedne nagrade sponzora i donatora, a zasebnu zabavnu nagradnu igru „Najbolji dribler“ drugoga dana turnira organizirao je i Opel kao glavni sponzor PRO 3×3 Toura. Istoga dana održan je i već tradicionalni Kids Day s brojnim sadržajima i događanjima namijenjenima djeci, a provedena je i već standardna edukacija o 3×3 košarci za igrače, nagradnu suce, pomoćne suce, djecu i gledatelje. Drugoga dana okupljeni gledatelji mogli su uživati i u atraktivnim nastupima slovenske akrobatske skupine Dunking Devils. Cijeli je program zaključen izvrsnim koncertom popularnog hiphopera Ede Maajke u Gradskom parku.
U kratkom osvrtu na ovaj događaj Dinka Matijević, direktorica Turističkog ureda Turističke zajednice Grada Nova Gradiška, naglasila je kako je protekloga vikenda Nova Gradiška ponovno pokazala da srce Slavonije kuca snažno – za sport, zajedništvo i humanost. „Turnir u okviru PRO 3×3 Toura okupio je vrhunske košarkaške ekipe i donio vrhunsku atmosferu na terenu, potvrđujući kako Nova Gradiška s ponosom stoji na karti sportskih zbivanja Hrvatske. Jednako smo ponosni i na humanitarni turnir ‘Svi smo uz tebe Hrva!’, koji je još jednom dokazao snagu zajedništva i empatije našeg grada. Vrhunac emocija dogodio se u Gradskom parku na koncertu Ede Maajke – ujedinili smo glazbu, dobre vibracije i humanitarnu svrhu. Publika je pokazala veliko srce, a naš park postao je prostor nade, solidarnosti i urbanog duha. Zahvaljujem svim organizatorima, volonterima, sportašima i građanima koji su sudjelovali. Ovim događanjima potvrđujemo da Nova Gradiška nije samo grad događanja, već i grad ljudi velikog srca“, zaključila je Dinka Matijević. Ispred humanitarne inicijative „Svi smo uz tebe Hrva!“ svim suradnicima, partnerima, sponzorima i pokroviteljima zahvalila se Matea Modrić, Hrvina sestra.
U ime glavnih organizatora, Udruge PRO 3×3, kratak komentar na cijeli događaj iznio je Tomislav Prpić. „Ponovno su Mažoretkinje Grada Nova Gradiška i Plesni studio Nova Gradiška svojim nastupima u stanka između 3×3 utakmica uveseljavali publiku i ponosne roditelje koji su, osim u njihovim nastupima, uživali i u akrobacijama Dunking Devilsa te, u glavnom programu, inozemnih i hrvatskih vrlo kvalitetnih 3×3 momčadi seniora i U-19 juniora. Treba svakako istaknuti i dobrotvorni karakter turnira za lokalne momčadi, koji je organiziran u okviru PRO 3×3 Toura u Novoj Gradiški, čiji su finalisti pokazali kvalitetnu igru, i to u televizijskom prijenosu uživo posredstvom kanala Sportklub. Hrvina obitelj i prijatelji dali su veliki obol u organizaciji i realizaciji događanja u Novoj Gradiški. Prikupljena financijska sredstva poduprijet će svakodnevne napore našeg dragog Hrvoja Modrića da uz njegu i terapiju jača svoje tijelo. Održavanjem osmog humanitarnog streetball turnira ‘Svi smo uz tebe Hrva!’ još jednom je posvjedočeno da Grad Nova Gradiška, Turistička zajednica Grada Nova Gradiška i Košarkaški klub Strmac – za koji je Hrva igrao dok je današnji novogradiški gradonačelnik Vinko Grgić bio predsjednik kluba – stoje čvrsto uz svoje sugrađane i prijatelje, kako u dobru, tako i u nevolji. Udruga PRO 3×3 ponosna je što nam je pružena mogućnost da pomognemo tom velikom krugu velikih ljudi i damo svoj obol u potpori Hrvinoj životnoj bitci“, rekao je Tomislav Prpić.
Nakon zapadne Slavonije PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel predstojećeg vikenda seli ponovno na jadransku obalu, u Dalmaciju. Naime, predzadnji, deveti ovosezonski turnir – ujedno i posljednji na kojem će se moći osigurati mjesto u velikom finalu u Novalji – bit će organiziran u petak i subotu, 25. i 26. srpnja 2025., u samom središtu lijepog grada Šibenika, na Trgu Poljana.

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.

The two-day attractive 3×3 basketball tournament, which was organized on Friday and Saturday, July 18th and 19th, on a top-notch 3×3 basketball court set up on Cvjetni trg in the center of Nova Gradiška, offered a rich and eventful program to the large audience and was held in a humanitarian tone. In the sports part, the Hungarian national players in 3×3 basketball had the most reasons to celebrate at the end.
This major event was held as part of the PRO 3×3 Tour, a series of spectacular international tournaments in 3×3 basketball, and the aforementioned beautiful city in Western Slavonia was the eighth stop in the current fourth season of the PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel. For the second year in a row, the Nova Gradiška edition of the PRO 3×3 Tour was realized in combination with the humanitarian streetball tournament “We are all with you, Hrva!” which was held for the eighth time, and its goal is to help Hrvoje Modrić, a member of the Basketball Club “Strmac” Nova Gradiška, who suffered a serious injury on the basketball court. Therefore, at the opening ceremony of the two-day event, organized on Friday evening (July 18) on the 3×3 court on Cvjetni trg, the gathered were greeted on behalf of the host and local co-organizers by the mayor of Nova Gradiška Vinko Grgić, the president of the Basketball Club “Strmac” Nova Gradiška Ivan Dobričić and Hrvoje’s sister Matea Modrić.
As for the main part of the competition, held as part of the PRO 3×3 Tour, for two days numerous spectators watched the interesting competitions of 3×3 teams in two competitions. In the end, the best in the senior Elite Men category was the Hungarian team HUN-1, which in the final match, played on Saturday evening (July 19), defeated the Croatian team 3×3 Zagreb NITUI with a score of 21:17. With this, in addition to FIBA points, won a cash prize of 2,000 euros. The winning team – which, after the June tournament in Umag, won its second PRO 3×3 tournament this season – was played by: Kelemen Balazs, Laszlo Komma, Matyas Molnar and Uroš Rosić. How dominant they were in Nova Gradiška is proven by the fact that in the five games played, HUN-1 achieved all five victories.
The second-placed team 3×3 Zagreb NITUI received the amount of 600 euros, and the third place was won by the team Radnik Križevci 3×3. The aforementioned teams were supposed to be the ones that secured their place at the Final Tournament of the PRO 3×3 Tour 2025. driven by Opel, which will be organized on August 2 and 3 in Novalja on the island of Pag. However, since 3×3 Zagreb NITUI and Radnik Križevci 3×3 had already managed to do so at previous PRO 3×3 tournaments, instead of them in Nova Gradiška, the fourth and fifth-placed teams in this tournament, HUN-3 and HUN-2, received the “tickets” to Novalja. Both teams, as well as the tournament winners, featured Hungarian 3×3 basketball national team members from the shortlist and the wider selection list. Therefore, the Hungarian 3×3 players and coaches in Nova Gradiška had great reasons to be pleased.
It was also interesting in the men’s junior U-19 competition within the PRO 3×3 Tour. In an uncertain final duel, the Španeri team celebrated, defeating the 3×3 SB team with 13:12. The winners were: Vito Hrs, Oliver Magdić Govedarica, Marko Musa and Ardian Seba.
Regarding the humanitarian streetball tournament “We are all with you, Hrva!”, whose matches were played in parallel on Saturday (July 19), during breaks between the PRO 3×3 matches, in the end the best was the Roko team, which defeated the Faul Više team in the final with a score of 13:7.
In the accompanying, revue and entertainment part of the program, the Majorettes of the City of Nova Gradiška and the Dance Studio Nova Gradiška presented their attractive performances on both days. In addition, a charity raffle and a charity sale of commemorative T-shirts were organized, all proceeds of which were intended for Hrva’s rehabilitation and ensuring better living conditions. Several prize games and competitions were also held for spectators in which the participants won valuable prizes from sponsors and donors, and a separate fun prize game “Best Dribbler” on the second day of the tournament was organized by Opel as the main sponsor of the PRO 3×3 Tour. The traditional Kids Day was held on the same day with numerous activities and events intended for children, and the standard education about 3×3 basketball was also conducted for players, referees, assistant referees, children and spectators. On the second day, the gathered spectators could also enjoy attractive performances by the Slovenian acrobatic group Dunking Devils. The entire program concluded with an excellent concert by the popular hip-hop artist Edo Maajka in the City Park.
In a brief review of this event, Dinka Matijević, Director of the Tourist Office of the Tourist Board of the City of Nova Gradiška, emphasized that last weekend Nova Gradiška once again showed that the heart of Slavonia beats strongly – for sport, togetherness and humanity. “The tournament within the PRO 3×3 Tour brought together top basketball teams and brought a top atmosphere on the court, confirming that Nova Gradiška proudly stands on the map of Croatian sports events. We are equally proud of the humanitarian tournament ‘We are all with you, Hrva!’, which once again proved the strength of unity and empathy of our city. The peak of emotions occurred in the City Park at the concert of Edo Maajka – we united music, good vibrations and a humanitarian purpose. The audience showed a big heart, and our park became a space of hope, solidarity and urban spirit. I would like to thank all the organizers, volunteers, athletes and citizens who participated. With these events, we confirm that Nova Gradiška is not only a city of events, but also a city of people with big hearts”, concluded Dinka Matijević. On behalf of the humanitarian initiative “We are all with you, Hrva!”, Matea Modrić, Hrva’s sister, thanked all associates, partners, sponsors and patrons.
On behalf of the main organizers, the PRO 3×3 Association (Udruga PRO 3×3), Tomislav Prpić gave a brief comment on the entire event. “Once again, the Majorettesof the City of the Nova Gradiška, and the Dance Studio Nova Gradiška entertained the audience and proud parents with their performances during the break between 3×3 games, who, in addition to their performances, also enjoyed the acrobatics of the Dunking Devils and, in the main program, the foreign and Croatian very high-quality 3×3 senior and U-19 junior teams. It is also worth highlighting the charitable nature of the tournament for local teams, which was organized as part of the PRO 3×3 Tour in Nova Gradiška, whose finalists showed quality play, and were broadcast live on television via the Sportklub channel. Hrva’s family and friends gave a great deal of support to the organization and realization of the event in Nova Gradiška. The collected funds will support the daily efforts of our dear Hrvoje Modrić to strengthen his body with care and therapy. By holding the eighth humanitarian streetball tournament ‘We are all with you, Hrva!’ It has once again been proven that the City of Nova Gradiška, the Tourist Board of the City of Nova Gradiška and the Strmac Basketball Club – for which Hrva played while the current Mayor of Nova Gradiška, Vinko Grgić, was the club’s president – stand firmly by their fellow citizens and friends, both in good times and in bad. The PRO 3×3 Association is proud to have been given the opportunity to help this large circle of great people and to give our support to Hrva’s battle for life”, said Tomislav Prpić.
