The concept

Turning a shopping centre
into a living basketball space.

The 3x3 Westfield Glòries was born with the aim of using sport as a tool for social cohesion, activating spaces and generating real impact. Three editions later, it is a landmark event for street basketball in Barcelona.

The project combines FIBA 3x3 sporting competition, the activation of one of the city's busiest shopping centres, and a network of influencers and content creators who have generated more than 2.4 million potential impressions.
