On Nov. 1, 2023, FIBA announced that USA Basketball had qualified men’s and women’s 3x3 teams for the 2024 Olympic Games. In each category, the United States was one of three countries that qualified for Paris based on FIBA 3x3 world ranking as of 10/31/23, and will bypass this year’s Olympic Qualifying Tournaments. The American women will look to defend their Olympic gold medal, after winning the first ever 3x3 Olympics competition in 2021, while the men will make their 3x3 Olympic debut in Paris. The USA men rank second internationally and qualified alongside No. 1-ranked Serbia and No. 3-ranked China. Also ranked second, the U.S. women qualified with No. 1-ranked China and No. 3-ranked France.
Highlights for the women include winning the 2023 FIBA 3x3 Women’s World Cup, taking gold at the 2023 Pan American Games last week, earning 11 top 3 finishes during the FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series and qualifying for the 2023 FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series Final. Late last year, early in the qualification window, the USA women won bronze at the 2022 FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup.
After winning silver at the 2023 FIBA 3x3 Men’s World Cup, the men also won gold at the Pan American Games and took home their first FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup title earlier this month. Four American teams competed on the 2023 FIBA 3x3 World Tour and earned a combined 12 top 3 finishes. Like the women, the men started the qualification year off strong with a gold medal win at the 2022 FIBA AmeriCup in Miami.
