A pioneering trajectory serving French 3×3

Olympic silver medalist in Paris 2024, bronze medalist at the 2022 World Cup, Franck Seguela has established himself in recent years as a global reference in 3×3. Since his full commitment to the discipline in 2022, with the 3×3 Paris project, he has continuously pushed the boundaries. At a time when 3×3 was still struggling to establish itself in France, the Toulouse-trained forward made the bold bet to dedicate his career to it.

In three seasons, Franck Seguela has won almost everything. The first Frenchman to be named MVP of a World Tour stop, he has also become the most decorated French player on the international circuit, the one who has played the most matches and above all the best scorer in history across all seasons according to the FFBB website.

A strong symbol for 3×3 development in France

Driven by solid international results and the rise of structures like Toulouse, Bordeaux and potentially soon the Team Cheverny Swish Basket, French 3×3 is experiencing a golden period. It hopes to continue growing stronger in the lead-up to the Los Angeles Olympics.
