Malaga is preparing to live a magical week full of basketball. The third edition of the Plaza 3×3 CaixaBank will be added to the day of July 8, in which the Spanish men’s and women’s teams will play a double confrontation against France at the Martín Carpena.
With an emblematic setting such as the Plaza de la Marina in the Andalusian city, the street basketball festival continues after passing through Valencia and Castellón. In this case, 82 teams and 307 players will participate, playing more than 200 games.
The event, which will be held in strict compliance with the health protocols that will guarantee the health of participants, organizers and visitors, will begin at 10:00 am and end at 5:00 pm.
As usual, the Plaza 3×3 CaixaBank will receive a visit from FEB Ambassador Fernando Romay in the afternoon, who will once again liven up the evening with shooting and skills competitions.
The event has the support of the Malaga City Council, the Malaga Provincial Council and with the participation of a team of 25 volunteers, assigned to the FEB-CaixaBank Volunteer Program. All the information of the event can be followed through the official website.
More than 42,000 participants since 2012
The FEB launched the Plaza 3×3 program in 2012, from its first edition in conjunction with CaixaBank. The nine stops of 2019, the last that could be held, raised the figures for this street basketball promotion program to more than 42,000 participants and 200,000 visitors. A very positive balance of this emblematic program, which in its eight editions has already visited 39 cities throughout Spain.
CaixaBank, a leading sponsor of Spanish basketball
CaixaBank is a sponsoring partner of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) and official sponsor of the Spanish National Team in all its categories, male and female. The financial entity has been involved with national basketball since 2013 and its involvement and activation of multiple initiatives around this sport have helped to make visible and expand the impact of the greatest international successes.
In its implementation of the local sponsorship strategy, CaixaBank has collaborated with the main basketball events that have been held in the last decade in Spain, both professionals and amateurs, transferring the values of sport to all corners of the country. Among them is the commitment to the Plaza 3×3 CaixaBank circuit. In addition, the FEB and CaixaBank have a specific sports volunteering program that goes beyond the competition itself: the FEB CaixaBank volunteer program. After seven years, this program has managed to weave a solid community of almost 20,000 volunteers, who support all official basketball events organized by the FEB.
