Summary
Fenerbahçe Opet and Çimsa ÇBK Mersin met for the fourth time in the final of the Presidential Cup. Fenerbahçe had won the final in 2019 and 2024, while ÇBK Mersin claimed the title in 2022. The game was officiated by referees Aydın Karaçam, Ozan Gönen, and Yiğit Gönültaş. The match played at the Ankara Arena and broadcast live on HT Spor.
ÇBK Mersin fell behind 14–7 in the first four minutes, unable to contain the scoring of Fenerbahçe's Kayla McBride, but closed the opening quarter ahead 25–22 thanks to Julie Vanloo's effective play, in a period where both teams combined for nine three-pointers. Seeking to increase the tempo, the Mersin side extended the lead to seven points (36–29) in the first three minutes of the second quarter with contributions from Esra Ural and Sinem Ataş off the bench. Although Fenerbahçe began to utilize the paint more effectively through Emma Meesseman and Alperi Onar after a timeout and managed to level the score, ÇBK Mersin responded through baskets by Kennedy Burke and Julie Vanloo and went into halftime with a 47–45 advantage.[3]
With the score tied at 54–54 midway through the third quarter, Fenerbahçe capitalized on their opponent's declining shooting efficiency. Behind Teaira McCowan's interior scoring, Meesseman's mid-range baskets and McBride's perimeter shooting, they produced a 19–5 run and entered the final period leading 73–59.
In the fourth quarter, Fenerbahçe continued to build momentum, with Alperi Onar facilitating the offense and Meesseman and McBride sustaining the scoring. As ÇBK Mersin struggled to keep pace, the margin widened steadily, and Fenerbahçe secured a 104–77 victory.
Emma Meesseman led Fenerbahçe with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, earning the Most Valuable Player award.[1] The trophy was presented to Fenerbahçe captain Alperi Onar and Kayla McBride, by the Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak and the President of the Turkish Basketball Federation Hidayet Türkoğlu.[1]
