Amsterdam Rabobank Clinches First 2026 World Tour Crown, Beating Liman 18–13 in Vienna Final

The FIBA 3x3 World Tour returned to Vienna from June 12–14, 2026, for its fifth stop of the season, and the weekend delivered a new champion. Amsterdam Rabobank captured their first World Tour title of 2026 by defeating Serbian powerhouse Liman 18–13 in the final on June 14 . The victory confirmed the Dutch team as a serious contender in a season that had already seen five different winners across five events .

Worthy de Jong Leads Amsterdam to the Title

Worthy de Jong was the undeniable catalyst of Amsterdam Rabobank’s run, earning MVP honors after powering the team through a difficult knockout bracket . FIBA described his performance as another milestone in an “illustrious 3x3 basketball career” . De Jong, an Olympic gold medalist with the Netherlands in 2024, has been a centerpiece of Amsterdam’s 3x3 success since the team’s 2024 World Tour championship .

Amsterdam Rabobank’s core roster for the Vienna stop featured Worthy de Jong, Bryan Alberts, and Jan Driessen . The team arrived in Vienna with momentum after winning the Hamburg Challenger on May 23, 2026, where they defeated Toulouse 21–16 in the final and De Jong again took MVP .

How the Tournament Played Out

The Vienna stop followed a familiar FIBA World Tour structure :

• Friday, June 12 — Qualifying Draw
• Saturday, June 13 — Pool games
• Sunday, June 14 — Finals

Twelve teams competed in the main draw, starting with four pools. The top two teams from each pool advanced to the quarterfinals on Sunday . Seeding was led by Ub (SRB), the world No. 1 and defending Vienna champions . The full top seeds were :

1. Ub (SRB)
2. Liman (SRB)
3. Skyliners (GER)
4. Amsterdam Rabobank (NED)
5. Raudondvaris Hoptrans (LTU)
6. Toronto (CAN)
7. Vienna (AUT)

Ub entered as the favorite but did not reach the final, finishing fourth overall behind Amsterdam, Liman, and Baskets Bonn . Amsterdam Rabobank, seeded fourth, navigated the knockout rounds and rose to the occasion when it mattered most .

Liman’s Mihailo Vasic led the scoring for the Serbian side in the final with 5 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Amsterdam’s balanced attack .

A Weekend Set Against a Bigger 3x3 Calendar

The Vienna stop landed just one week after the 2026 FIBA 3x3 World Cup in Warsaw, Poland, where Latvia claimed the men’s title by defeating Germany in the final . The United States won the women’s tournament, with Australia taking silver and the Netherlands bronze .

The proximity of the World Cup meant several national-team players carried their form straight into the World Tour. Amsterdam Rabobank’s roster features multiple Dutch national team regulars, including De Jong, Driessen, and Alberts, all of whom competed for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup .

Vienna marked the fifth stop of the 2026 FIBA 3x3 World Tour season, following events in Utsunomiya, Chengdu, Zadar, and Shanghai . Amsterdam’s victory made them the fifth different team to win a 2026 World Tour event, further underlining the depth of competition in this season’s circuit .
