Few sporting events in Cyprus manage to draw competitors aged ten and thirty-five onto the same courts on the same weekend — but the Ais Demetis 3on3 Street Ball Festival does exactly that. Returning to Α' Δημοτικό Αγίου Δομετίου in Nicosia from 25 to 27 September 2026, the three-day tournament has built a reputation as one of the island's most energetic outdoor basketball gatherings, blending genuine competition with the open, accessible spirit that defines the 3-on-3 format.
The programme spans six categories: Men, Women, U18 Men, U16 Men, U16 Women, and U12 Mixed — a lineup that reflects the organisers' commitment to making the festival relevant across generations. Whether you're a seasoned club player or a teenager assembling a squad for the first time, there is a bracket here for you.
Entry fees are set at €100 per team for the Men, Women, and U18 categories, and €80 per team for U16 Men, U16 Women, and U12 Mixed. Registrations are currently open, and given the event's track record, early sign-up is advisable.
Agios Dometios provides a fitting backdrop: a lively residential neighbourhood in the Nicosia municipality where the courts become a focal point for the whole community over the festival weekend. Spectators get the kind of proximity to the action that indoor arenas rarely offer — every crossover, every contested rebound and every buzzer attempt plays out just metres away.
