From pitch to court: Espe's Hoop District debut
Formerly a president in the Queens League, @espe has shown her talent on the football pitch, but how will the Team Sevilla captain cope on the basketball court in Hoop District?

Alessandro - Team Bologna
Team Bologna’s leader: Alessandro brings style and skills
With a combined following of 1.1 million across Instagram and TikTok, @aledellagiusta brings some Italian flair to Hoop District. Famous for his documentary-style videos on YouTube, where he has 1.25 million subscribers, this will be the first year that the Team Bologna captain is competing in Hoop District – and he is here to create waves, just like he has online.
MARGAUX - TEAM MANILA
Breaking barriers: Margaux leads team Manila in Hoop District
Ready to break down barriers, @margauxnonato – with a combined following of 1.2 million on Instagram and TikTok – is here to show why she is such a baller on the hardwood.

LUKE - TEAM LONDON
Team London’s leader: Luke steps onto the court
An ex-footballer, @lukeytroytrotman is ready to showcase his skills beyond the pitch. A lover of all sports, his combined 2.1 million following across Instagram and TikTok are accustomed to his humorous side as well, but how will the Team London captain do on his first Hoop District appearance?
GEORGE - TEAM ATHENS
Rising to the court: George at the Hoop District Tournament
He can do a bit of everything, be it presenting, playing hoops or competing in marathons, but will @george_lntz rise to the occasion at his first Hoop District tournament? The Team Athens captain commands a following of 108,000 followers on Instagram and has mixed with the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joakim Noah and Georgios Printezis, so he’ll be hoping to replicate their play when he gets onto the court.
ANTOINE - TEAM PARIS
Antoine: the French phenom
When it comes to flow, @totochegang steps up. With two million followers across Instagram and TikTok, the Team Paris captain may come in at 1.73 meters, but he can still get up and show his bounce on the court. Away from the hardwood, his drip is undeniable, representing the modern French look.
ALPER - TEAM ISTANBUL
Alper bringing the hype to Hoop District
Someone with basketball in their heart, @alperbicen24 certainly knows how to put on a show. The Team Istanbul is known for putting on basketball events and creating content with the likes of Shane Larkin and Bryant Dunston, but his 161,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok will be backing him to show out when he competes at Hoop District for the first time.
ZAC - TEAM MUNICH

TRESCO - TEAM BARCELONA
Tresco: last year champion
The champ of the first-ever Hoop District Finals last year, @tresco_ball is back to try and retain his title. His 390,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok saw him take home glory in Berlin last year, and he’ll be patiently waiting for the four finalist teams to be decided from the two qualifying tournaments. The Team Barcelona remains hungry and is determined to go back-to-back.
RULES
“3point shot” : At the half court corner there is a specific circle worth 3 points.
- Captains will select a specific player of their respected teams to shoot one time shot from that circle and have the chance to earn 3 points.
- After that shot the ball will change possession to the other team.
“Point Boost”: Activating this power up for a team will bring the chance to earn double points for the following 45 seconds.
“1v1 PRESENTED BY BKT”: Once activated the captain will have to choose a player from their team to face a 1V1 of same gender competition against the rival team. Whoever wins this 1v1 wins all the points scored by both players and gets the following ball possession.
The 1V1 competition ends with a made shot or the possession being recovered by the opposing team (Offensive rebounds are possible)
