2023 World Beach Games

[3][4] Bali, Indonesia was awarded hosting rights on 10 June 2022; the Games were planned to take place from 5 to 12 August 2023.

Indonesia officially became the strongest candidate to host the Games, following an announcement made at the General Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) in Crete, Greece, which was held on 24–25 October 2021.

[9] Ultimately, with the ban expired and Indonesia the only official bid put forward, it was unanimously chosen to be hosts in June 2022.

[14] After consulting with the Executive Board of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC), it was decided that 3x3 Basketball would not feature at the games.

The Local Organizing Committee (LOC), in this case the Indonesia ANOC World Beach Games Organizing Committee, also tried to find an alternative venue for 3x3 basketball because the operator wanted to charge a rental price that was too high for the location that had previously been confirmed to be for the sport.
