MIES, Switzerland, July 9 (Xinhua) -- FIBA announced on Wednesday that Mongolia will host the 2027 FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup from March 31 to April 4 in its capital city Ulaanbaatar.
FIBA data show that during the FIBA 3x3 World Cup recently held in Mongolia, more than 50,000 fans turned up in Sukhbaatar Square, where the Mongolian women's team reached the final.
