Guadalajara hosts the largest 3x3 basketball event in Spain

The Circuit 3×3 CaixaBank continues its expansion across Spain, and Guadalajara becomes the eighth stop of this fourteenth season. The event, scheduled for Saturday, September 5, starting at 9:00 AM at the Palacio del Infantado and Plaza del Jardinillo, represents the consolidation of a sports proposal that has evolved towards the concept of 'Play and live basketball', seeking to democratize access to urban sports without barriers or limitations.

An inclusive proposal for all audiences

The 2026 edition of the Circuit 3×3 CaixaBank maintains its completely free and open character, allowing anyone, regardless of their level of play or experience, to participate actively. Hundreds of male and female players from all categories will meet in Guadalajara to be part of an event that transcends traditional sports competition. The circuit has transformed its approach to offer a complete experience where urban basketball becomes the centerpiece of a community celebration.

The planned activities are not limited solely to 3×3 matches. The ambassadors of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) will be present, encouraging the public to participate actively, creating a festive atmosphere around basketball. Additionally, a wheelchair basketball exhibition will be included, reflecting the circuit's commitment to inclusion and accessibility for all attendees.

Local and regional institutions in the organization

The event was presented this Wednesday, August 26, at the Palacio del Infantado with the presence of the institutions that made the celebration possible. Armengol Engonga, councilor for sports in Guadalajara, emphasized the importance of bringing this type of initiative to the historic center of the city. According to him, the Circuit 3×3 CaixaBank represents an event without barriers and much more accessible for anyone to enjoy basketball on the street.

The Basketball Federation of Castilla-La Mancha plays a fundamental role in the organization, being the second occasion that Guadalajara hosts this stop since the circuit began its journey in 2012. José Esteban Gálvez, president of the regional federation, underscores that the event will allow many boys and girls in Guadalajara to approach basketball and develop an interest. He also highlights that the city has experienced the largest increase in basketball licenses in the 25/26 season, evidencing the work of local clubs in promoting the sport.

The charitable component of Triple Solidario

One of the distinctive characteristics of the Circuit 3×3 CaixaBank is its social initiative known as Triple Solidario. This program allows the three-pointers scored during the event to become financial contributions for local associations that work for inclusion and equality. In the previous edition, over 9,000 three-pointers were made, generating a significant impact on the beneficiary entities in the region.

José Luis Campo, Director of Institutional Banking CaixaBank Castilla La Mancha and Extremadura, emphasizes that the Circuit 3×3 CaixaBank is the largest outdoor urban basketball event in Spain. The proposal includes the Cancha por Todos, a space designed for people of any family, gender, and physical condition. This comprehensive approach demonstrates how sports can transform individuals and connect territories, according to Campo.

Participation and growth data

In 2025, the circuit registered the participation of 3,500 players across the different cities. The eighth stop in Guadalajara during 2026 continues the expansion process that CaixaBank and the FEB have driven. The event represents institutional pride for the banking entity, which sees sports as a transformative tool capable of generating meaningful connections between territories.

Registrations open and practical details

Registrations for the Circuit 3×3 CaixaBank in Guadalajara are open and can be made through the website of the Spanish Basketball Federation. The event will take place at the Palacio del Infantado and Plaza del Jardinillo, starting approximately at 9:00 AM on Saturday, September 5.

The participation of the various institutions involved in the organization guarantees a quality event that goes beyond mere sports competition. The presence of the Basketball Federation of Castilla-La Mancha, local authorities, and CaixaBank reflects the shared commitment to establish Guadalajara as a reference point in Spanish urban basketball. This circuit, now in its fourteenth season, continues to demonstrate that sports can be an effective vehicle for inclusion, solidarity, and community transformation.
