Following the final, the winners were presented their prizes by BBA vice-president Salman Hubail, who expressed his pride in the tournament’s success. He congratulated Seed on their victory and praised all the teams that participated.
Hubail affirmed that the BBA continues to work to develop the game of 3x3 basketball in Bahrain. He added that the success of the first edition will give a strong push to continue organising it annually, with further improvements to make it a permanent fixture on the national and regional calendars.
The Bahrain 3x3 Summer Tour 2025 was part of the BBA’s agenda aimed at promoting basketball during the summer and providing a competitive platform for the game’s enthusiasts in a dynamic format, played on a half-court with one hoop.
The championship represented a key initiative by the BBA to expand the participation base and establish Bahrain’s presence on the international 3x3 circuit.
