On June 9, 2017, the International Olympic Committee announced that three-a-side basketball would become an Olympic sport at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, for both men and women.
3×3 basketball is played in teams of three players, on a half court; Both teams attack and defend the same basket, depending on who has possession. The team in the lead after ten minutes of play, or the first to reach 21 points, wins the match. The principle of winning shots outside the three-point line is retained, but has been increased to two points outside the three-point line and one point inside.
