A large number of basketball fans followed the tournament at Freedom Square, and the atmosphere during the evening showed that 3x3 basketball is becoming one of the more attractive urban sports events of the Nevesinjska olimpijada.
The live broadcast and the television attention that TV Arena Sport dedicated to the tournament further contributed to the promotion of the event.

3x3 basketball is one of the most dynamic basketball disciplines. It is played on one hoop, with three players on each team on the court, and the matches are short, fast, and very intense. Because of this, every possession is important, and a difference of just one point can often decide the winner.
The tournament at Freedom Square showed why this discipline attracts more and more spectators — the combination of speed, contact, attractive moves, and direct competitive tension creates a sporting event that is easy to follow and remember.
