Basketball NSW would like to congratulate and acknowledge Riannan De La Torre from Illawarra Basketball, for her exciting selection to officiate the 3X3 FIBA Asia Cup Bronze Men’s Game last month!

The seventh edition of the FIBA 3X3 Asia Cup was held in the OCBC Square in Singapore from the 27th to the 31st of March 2024. Featuring 23 countries across the men’s and women’s divisions, the Australian 3×3 teams, known as the ‘Gangurrus’ (the Indigenous word for kangaroo) came out on top – with both teams finishing the tournament with gold medals.

Riannan officiated the Men’s Bronze medal game, a thrilling appointment, between New Zealand and Mongolia on the last day of the tournament. She officiated alongside Edmond Ho from Hong Kong.

Riannan is currently returning back to Australia, after also attending the FIBA 3X3 Universality Olympic Qualifying Tournament 1, which ran from the 12th to 14th of April in Hong Kong.

BNSW would like to say another huge congratulations to Riannan for achieving amazing things as a technical official in FIBA 3X3 international events!
