As part of this effort, a 3×3 basketball tournament was held in Thimphu for the first time over the weekend. The aim is to identify young talent while promoting the 3×3 format, which is strongly encouraged by the International Basketball Federation. Nima Gyaltshen, a coach with the Basketball Federation of Bhutan said, “The reason for the federation conducting this 3×3 tournament is to have a chance in the international tournaments. With the new basketball format rolled out, the federation aims to further develop, promote, and regulate the sport across the country.
