SINT MAARTEN (GREAT BAY) - Team Philipsburg has officially qualified for the prestigious FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters set to take place in Edmonton, Canada in July.

“This is more than just a win - it’s a statement,” said Paul Bell, President of 3x3 St. Maarten. Team Philipsburg has shown what’s possible when preparation meets opportunity. Qualifying for the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters puts Sint Maarten on the global basketball map, and we’re just getting started.”
With this victory, Team Philipsburg becomes only the second Caribbean team to qualify for a FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters event, joining elite squads from around the world.
