Konya, a city in central Turkey, has been actively promoting sports and recreational activities for its residents.

The Osman Nuri Hekimoğlu Anadolu Lisesi Spor Salonu, the venue for the tournament, is a key facility supporting these efforts.
The success of the “Birimler Arası 3×3 Basketbol Turnuvası” has prompted discussions about making it an annual event, potentially expanding participation and incorporating additional sports and activities. The Büyükşehir Belediyesi is exploring options to further enhance employee engagement and promote a culture of wellness within the organization.
