Georgian National 3X3 Basketball Championship – GeoTour 2021 continues. The second qualifying round of 3X3 GeoTour 2021 was hosted by Tbilisi Olympic Palace. According to the schedule, the next qualifying rounds were planned in Batumi, Kutaisi, Telavi and Rustavi, but due to the Covid-pandemic they will be held in the capital.
Seven teams gathered on August 18 at the Olympic Palace. According to the Covid regulations, only fully-vaccinated basketball players were allowed to participate in the tournament. If not vaccinated, the participant had to submit a negative PCR test result taken in the last 72 hours.
