The '2025 ALWAYS Taebaek National 3-on-3 Basketball Competition' was held at Gowon Gymnasium in Taebaek City for two days (15th-16th) last weekend. 82 teams (30 teams in the general division, 36 teams in the university division, and 16 teams in the teachers division) who enjoy 3-on-3 basketball from all over the country participated. The competition was held as a 'Sports+Vacation' where pure amateur basketball players enjoy sports and vacations at the same time. More than 1,000 people, including athletes, family members, acquaintances, cheering squads, and tournament officials, stayed in Taebaek for two nights and three days to make memories.
The competition was hosted and organized by the Korea 3-to-3 Basketball Federation (KOREA3X3) and sponsored by Taebaek City, Taebaek City Council, and Gangwon Provincial Daily. In particular, three college mentors from Seoul National University, Korea University, and Ewha Womans University participated in the competition to share sports career and university entrance information with local students, including the Taebaek Hwangji Middle and High School biathlon team, which received great response.
Mayor Lee Sang-ho of Taebaek City, who supported hosting the competition for the second consecutive year since last year, said, `I can feel the enthusiasm of young friends in Taebaek for the first time in a long time. The competition has been further upgraded, with more teams participating than last year. "In particular, we will actively explore sports mentoring projects as it is a good opportunity for college students to participate as mentors and share information on sports careers and college entrance."
