HA Cup 3x3 Basketball Challenge

""HA Cup" 3x3 Basketball Challenge"

As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the Housing Authority (HA) has teamed up with InspiringHK Sports Foundation to organise the "HA Cup" 3x3 Basketball Challenge.
Objective
The "HA Cup" 3x3 Basketball Challenge encourages young people in public housing estates to form boys' and girls' basketball teams and creates a platform for them to showcase their vitality and 'can do' spirit, so as to strengthen their sense of belonging towards their housing estates. Echoing the Government's promotion of urban sports, this activity could help to promote people's awareness of 3x3 basketball.
