Previously, the FISU University World Cup 3×3 Basketball took place in the Chinese city of Xiamen from 2015 to 2019. Due to the pandemic, it was postponed in 2020 and 2021, and the Turkish University Sports Federation (TUSF) stepped in when COVID-19 restrictions made it impossible for Xiamen in China to hold the event. Earlier this year the TUSF also stepped in to hold the FISU World Cup Combat Sports.
