The Badalona tournament, which closes the Catalan 3x3 basketball circuit, welcomes one of the most powerful teams in the national scene this Saturday, the 3G Valladolid 3x3, which will compete in both women's and men's categories.
The Badalona Pavilion is preparing for a top-level 3x3 basketball day. The tournament that marks the final touch to the Catalan circuit organized by the Catalan Basketball Federation will bring together some of the best teams in the country, among which the participation of 3G Valladolid 3x3 stands out, a team that arrives with the intention of taking a step forward in their summer season.
A tournament of maximum demand in Badalona
The championship, taking place this Saturday, is considered by the organizers to be the most demanding of the entire summer. The event not only closes the Catalan circuit but also offers an international showcase. For the participating teams, it represents an opportunity to measure themselves against top-tier rivals and, for the champions, a significant prize: in the women's category, a spot in a Women's Series, the global circuit of the modality; in the men's, a ticket for a World Tour, the highest planetary competition.
For local fans, the presence of 3G Valladolid 3x3 adds an extra incentive. The Valladolid club has shown a constant progression in recent seasons and arrives in Badalona with the intention of rubbing shoulders with the best. In the women's category, the team consists of Celia García, Ceci Aldecoa, Clara Rodríguez and Tayra Eke, a squad that already knows what it is like to step onto the podium: just two weeks ago they achieved third place in the El Vendrell tournament.
High-level rivals for the Valladolid teams
The group stage will not be a walk in the park. The girls from 3G Valladolid 3x3 will face Las Rozas, Bordeaux and Fuengirola, three teams with players of proven national and international experience. The men's team, composed of Juan García-Abril, Eduardo Castaño, Enrique Gutiérrez and Marco de Larrea, will have to measure up against Fuengirola, Pando Mataró and CM Martorell, a group where any mistake could cost them a place in the knockout rounds.
The Badalona tournament is undoubtedly a litmus test. The level of the participants is extremely high and the 3x3 format, with short and intense matches, offers no respite. For local teams like Pando Mataró or CM Martorell, it is also an opportunity to measure themselves against a rival of the stature of 3G Valladolid 3x3, which seeks to establish itself as one of the benchmarks of national 3x3 basketball.
The Valladolid club has expressed through its social media the excitement with which they approach this event.
It is one of the toughest tournaments of the summer, but we are ready to give it our all, they stated from the organization.The local fans, who usually fill the stands at such events, will be able to enjoy a top-level sports spectacle.
A prize worth a season
Beyond prestige, the Badalona tournament offers an incentive that can change any team's season. The spot for the Women's Series and the World Tour is the dream of any 3x3 player. For 3G Valladolid 3x3, securing that ticket would mean a huge qualitative leap and the chance to compete against the best squads on the planet.
The championship will kick off early in the morning and continue into the afternoon. The group stages will take place in the morning and the knockout rounds from noon onwards. Admission is free for the public, who will be able to follow the teams' progress live. Undoubtedly, an unmissable event for 3x3 basketball lovers in the province of Barcelona.
