We’re passionate about basketball, keen to rise to the challenge of organizing an international event in our beautiful country, and eager to promote the Maxibasketball movement in Switzerland.

For the first time in the history of the FIMBA World Maxibasketball Championship, we are thrilled to introduce the innovative concept of FIMBA Villages. Designed to revolutionize the tournament experience, FIMBA Villages offer participants and fans an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves fully in the basketball festivities and foster a sense of camaraderie like never before.

The three host cities of Bellinzona, Lugano, and Locarno each bring their distinct appeal to the championship. Bellinzona, with its medieval charm, hosts ancient castles and a rich cultural heritage. Lugano, often referred to as the “Monte Carlo of Switzerland,” showcases sophistication and modernity with its upscale boutiques and vibrant nightlife. Locarno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, enchants with its palm-lined promenades and beautiful waterfront.
