Fath Union Sports Claims Resounding Victory in Excellence Division Basketball Finals Opener

In a display of dominance and skill, Fath Union Sports (FUS) emerged victorious in the opening clash of the Excellence Division Basketball Finals, defeating AS Salé with a commanding 82-56 scoreline on Sunday. This resounding triumph sets the stage for an enthralling showdown in the second leg scheduled for Wednesday at 7 PM.

Fresh off an impressive campaign in the 2024 Basketball Africa League (BAL), FUS has set its sights on claiming the coveted Excellence Division title this season. Facing AS Salé in the finals, the capital club's mettle was put to the test, and they emerged triumphant in the first of the best-of-five series.

Capitalizing on the team's unwavering confidence and the players' remarkable form, coach Saïd El Bouzidi masterfully orchestrated the match. FUS seized control early, establishing a comfortable 14-point lead in the first half (39-25) before cementing their dominance in the second period, extending their advantage to a staggering 26 points (82-56).

As the second leg of the finals looms on Wednesday, the capital club will seek to reinforce their supremacy and secure another victory against the formidable Corsaires du Bouregreg. It is worth noting that the Excellence Division Finals is a best-of-five series, with the potential fifth and decisive match slated for July 13.

In the women's Excellence Division, Ittihad de Tanger etched their name in history by clinching the championship title, defeating Kawkab de Marrakech in the finals.
