From 12 to 15 March, the Lycée Français International de Bangkok (LFIB) hosted the very first edition of the Asia-Pacific 3×3 Basketball Cup, a sporting event bringing together delegations from French schools across the region.

Eleven delegations took part in this first edition: Bangkok, Guangzhou, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Shanghai, Tokyo, New Delhi, Koh Samui and Manila. Over three days of competition, students competed in the dynamic 3×3 basketball format, characterised by short games and a fast succession of matches, encouraging intensity, commitment and team spirit.

Hosting this competition was a great success for LFIB and highlights the vitality of school sport within the network of French schools in the Asia-Pacific region.

Students enjoyed a particularly enriching experience, marked by the enthusiasm of the players, the commitment of staff, and a friendly atmosphere that encouraged exchanges between schools across the region.

As part of their stay in Bangkok, the delegations also had the opportunity to attend professional 3×3 basketball games during the Champions Cup held simultaneously at CentralWorld, allowing students to discover the sport at the highest level.
