MIES (3x3) - Indonesia continued their progression while Bahrain, Kyrgyzstan and the USA also climbed up the 3x3 Federation Rankings on 1 May 2016.
Ever since the country hosted the FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championships in 2013, Indonesia has fallen in love with 3x3. The country is in the Top 25 in each category and jumped to 17th in men and sixth in U18 men, in big part thanks to the L-Men 3x3 Tour which stopped in Bandung and Jakarta last month.
In the men's categories, Japan reached the Top 10 following a stage of the .EXE Quest in Saitama, Ghana jumped to 51st after completing the FIBA 3x3 e-learning programme and Bahrain gained another 23 positions all the way up to 54th overall after several tournaments such as a university tournament.
