What awaits you

Three days of pure experience

This is more than a tournament. It is competing at your best, taking over a two-thousand-year-old city and going home knowing you were part of something you cannot repeat.

Basketball

Real competition between masters players, men and women, from across Spain and Europe. Categories from 35+ to 60+, first-class arenas and official referees. You come here to play.

02

History

Tarragona is a UNESCO World Heritage city. A Roman amphitheatre above the sea, a living old town, a seafront promenade and beaches ten minutes from the court. The city provides the stage.

Atmosphere

Team dinners, music, sunny terraces and a community that knows how to celebrate. The game ends on the court; the experience carries on for hours.
