Galicia U17 3×3 Basketball: Planomato Championship

If you are interested in urban basketball, you have to focus on what Vigo is preparing for the coming months. The city will host the Galicia Under-17 3×3 Basketball Championship the next May 1, 2026. This event is the direct fight for the regional title of the category, and expectations are high to see if the young talent from here manages to revalidate the successes that have already placed Vigo teams on national podiums.

This championship is not an isolated event, but a central piece of the comprehensive project ‘Vigo Capital 3×3’. This is a pioneering strategy designed to position Vigo as the capital of urban basketball in Spain, and is the result of collaboration between the Council, the Galician Basketball Federation (Fegaba) and the Club Seis do Nadal. 3×3 is an Olympic sport where Spain is at the top of the world, and the city seeks to lay the foundations for a reference school. The commitment is serious, with Mayor Abel Caballero reaffirming municipal support for a discipline that, according to him, fits perfectly with the dynamism of Vigo. The involvement of the Sports and Tourism departments underlines the strategic importance they are giving to this movement.

The project’s focus is very grassroots focused. In addition to the U-17 competition, the plan includes the creation of a specific 3×3 campus, a new initiative in Galicia, aimed at boys and girls who want to start or improve in the modality. Work is also being done on the training of specialized technicians and referees, since speed and decision-making in 3×3 require specific preparation. This May championship is one of the three major competitive events on the 2026 roadmap, along with the Holy Week City of Vigo Tournament (at the beginning of April) and O Marisquiño 3×3, which will be the culmination of the summer. If you plan to come to see the competition in Vigo, keep in mind that it has not been mentioned whether access for spectators will be paid or free.
