What a weekend it was in Antwerp! The Crelan 3×3 Masters 2025 delivered non-stop action, huge crowds, and some unforgettable moments—even the weather couldn’t stop the show.
Saturday: The Final Qualifier – Pure Streetball Vibes
We kicked things off on Saturday with 63 teams battling across 8 age categories on the iconic Groenplaats. The conditions were perfect for 3×3 basketball—no blazing sun, no wind, no rain. Just hoops, music, and a crowd that brought the energy all day long.
Sunday: The Best of the Best
Sunday was all about the champions of the champions. 69 teams hit the courts, most of them winners from one of our nine qualifiers. A few wildcard teams joined the party, hungry to prove themselves. Each squad checked in and received their exclusive city champion shirt, repping the qualifier city they conquered.
The first games went down outdoors on Groenplaats—but then came the rain. And in 3×3, even a little drizzle makes the court slick. Safety first, so we quickly moved the finals indoors to the Heylen Vastgoed Basket Campus, home of the Antwerp Giants. The result? An electric atmosphere, a packed crowd, and some of the best basketball we’ve seen all season.
And the Elite Champs Are…
- Women 16+ Elite: Team Ciney (captain Emilie Saucin) defeated Belgian Fam 13–6.
- Men 23+ Elite: Manoa Elite (captain Zaccharie Mortant) edged out Team Liège 3×3 in a nail-biting 20–19 thriller.
See You Next Year
A massive thank you to every player, fan, partner, and volunteer who made this season unforgettable. The Crelan 3×3 Masters will be back next year for another exceptional season of streetball action. See you in 2026!
