Fudan and Tongji Claim Opening Weekend Titles
The two-day tournament brought 73 teams from 39 institutions together for the municipal games, alongside 58 total squads competing in the separate university league circuit.
Organizers structured the new Shanghai Collegiate 3×3 Basketball League season around a tour format, with plans for at least eight cross-campus events throughout the academic year before culminating in a final championship. This setup bridges daily campus recreation with structured intercollegiate competition, giving players continuous access to sanctioned games.
Municipal Games Expand to Include Three-on-Three
The municipal games integrated three-on-three basketball into the official university division program for the first time. Officials divided the tournament into Group A (high-level group) and Group B (general student group), drawing 73 entries across 39 schools.
Simultaneously, the Fudan tour stop hosted 32 men's teams and 26 women's teams from 35 campuses.
Campus Sports Culture Exhibits Draw Student Crowds
The racing association operated F1 racing simulators for lap-time challenges, while the boxing club offered mitt-work and instructional sessions.

Additional booths featured volleyball drills from the volleyball association, alongside bodyweight fitness and rope-skipping demonstrations. The parallel activities formed part of an institutional push to blend competitive fixtures with wider student engagement across multiple athletic disciplines.
Municipal Education Officials Outline Future Competition Frameworks
Shanghai municipal education authorities stated that upcoming collegiate sports development will center on student health and character education. The framework aims to link single-school tournaments with broader municipal schedules to match athletic resources against student demand.
Schools are encouraged to build multi-tiered campus sports cultures that connect physical education classes, extracurricular training, student clubs, and competitive fixtures. The ongoing league tour format serves as a testing ground for these integrated participation pathways.
