The famous Normandy international basketball tournament is getting older and maturing.
PRESENTATION
The Quartier Ouest association is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its Pro/am basketball tournament on June 15-16, 2024 in Mondeville (Normandy, France).
Our structure is a national and international benchmark in the organization of basketball-related events. The QO is one of the three most important street basketball tournaments in Europe.
This tournament, which was launched in 2007, has since established itself as a benchmark among basketball events, in France and internationally. It takes place every year, and gives the opportunity to receive amateur and professional players, from France or abroad.

This sporting event consists of a 5×5 adult basketball tournament, which brings together a women’s field of 8 teams as well as a men’s field of 16 teams, all open to clubs, associations, or simply to teams of friends.
In addition to sporting performances, we are working to give an ever more spectacular dimension to our event, by adding a more streetball character. For this, the weekend will be punctuated by matches, contests (dunks, 3pts), entertainment, dance shows, and all this to music by our Hip-Hop and Afro DJs.
The tournament will take place on 2 sites, separated by a distance ranging from 5 to 10 minutes on foot, to ensure the smooth running of the tournament, as well as the reception of players, players and the public. These 2 places are :
–Halle Pierre Beregovoy, which will be the reception point, with its main room.
–Gymnase Jean Maurice, which will be our second field.
